Croatia 'Delays Date for Closing EU Talks'

Croatia has given up hope of completing European Union accession negotiations by the end of the year, the Croatian Times has reported.
Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor had suggested two weeks ago that the talks would be completed by the end of 2010, or at the latest, the beginning of 2011.
But Croatia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gordan Jandrokovic, said at an informal meeting with several European Union ministers in Brussels on Friday that he believes Croatia will now finish the negotiations within the first six months of next year.
