European Parliament rapportuer for Croatia, Hannes Swoboda, said today that it is possible Croatia will not be a part of the EU by January 2012 as Croatia had hoped. Swoboda said that this short timeline is unlikely because it leaves very little time for all EU members to ratify the accession treaty. The accession negotiations might drag along into 2011 and if this is the case it is more likely Coratia will not join the EU until late 2o12 or early 2013. However, the European Parliament did pass the bill approving Croatia's progress on its development goals for membership to the EU.
