Interim report on the progress by Croatia adopted
"I commend the Croatian government's efforts in this key chapter. The Commission continues to support Croatia on the last stretch of its path towards EU membership and is ready to propose the closing of negotiations as soon as Croatia has met all remaining requirements identified in today's report. I am hopeful that this report will help the Croatian government and Croatian society as a whole to redouble their efforts in this crucial area", stated Commissioner Füle on 2 March 2011 on the occasion of the Commission adopting an interim report on the progress made by Croatia in the area of judiciary and fundamental rights (Chapter 23).
