| Mr Khan said: Eh, Croatia's in a more stable position from what i've heard. Depends on how the Euro was doing against the kuna. |
Kuna was pegged to Deutsch Mark and now is pegged to Euro. Becoming a member of fiscal union is Croatian goal and according to accession treaty also an obligation.
How deep down Croatia this year will be, deppends on tourist season. But for now all numbers are up (both preseason bookings and current bookings). I assume in fall we'll have budget rebalanicing, and I can actually foresee students striking because the Universities raised tuition that will apply from next academic year (and if governemnt will need to cut something they'll probably cut on education, health care etc - social stuff).
Everybody from EU thinks that we'll be overflooded with European goods, while not realising that we already are. The only difference now on is that the prices should be lower for poblic since imports from EU won't go through customs. Almost every fruit you pick up in a store is either from Greece or Spain. Sure there are few domestic ones, but they are usually more expensive. And Croatia is full of German and Austrian stores - Kaufland, Billa, Lidl, Metro, OBI, Bauhaus, Kika... and the list goes on.
