Croatia’s referendum to see if the country’s population wanted to become a member of the European Union seems to be largely supported by the voters. In fact, only 32% of voters were against pursuing membership. So far, Croatia is on track to join the European Union by July 2013. This seems like an interesting move by Croatia seeing the financial imbalance of the EU and I am even more surprised that countries like Germany that are already being asked to bailout other EU countries are on board with allowing Croatia to join. Currently, Croatia has a high unemployment rate along with other reported economic instabilities. If the EU is able to pass a economic stimulus it will be interesting to see if Croatia is going to be apart of the bailout.
