Croatia should have no problem integrating into the EU. The charts above show why. Like the Eurozone, it is in the midst of a six, going on seven, quarter recession. Moreover, its economic contraction places it firmly within the periphery, so it is on tap to begin receiving German money after Merkel wins a third term in September. Good times for Croatia.

Today Croatia’s GDP is larger than Romania and Bulgaria (EU members!).Tommorow (after Croatia joins the bloc) the GDP will be lower!
This means that social unrest will occur in Croatia but also countries like Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo will not want EU accession!

This is Croatia’s end now. Croatia has never been an ally with England, and both countries actually hate each other. But Croatia has always been friends with Germany. But now all of a sudden Croatia has stopped being friends with Germany and has made a fake friendship with England. It might seem like Serbia isn’t friends with the West, but England and the EU loves Serbia. If BiH and Slovenia join the EU, a new Yugoslavia will form, and after over 600 years of fighting for independence, we will have to do it again.

The EU is corrupt and is ruled by England. Germany has always been friends with Croatia, but now Croatia will stop its friendly relations with Germany and will be brain-washed by the English. A true Croat would notice that this EU is evil, but unfortunately we have Serbian-like politicians who are trying to form another Yugoslavia.

Do you see what is happening in Greece right now? Croatia needs to leave the EU ASAP. Bosnians, Croatians, Slovenians, etc. have been fighting for our independence for more than 600 years (as mentioned before) and now all of that will be taken away from us.
