Croatia has become the 28th member of the European Union on Monday July 01,2013.
Croatia is the first new EU member since Bulgaria and Romania joined in 2007.
A dispute with Slovenia over sea and land borders dating back to the break-up of Yugoslavia also threatened to derail Croatia's journey to EU membership until June 2010, when a Slovene referendum cleared this outstanding obstacle to Croatia's EU accession.
The Croatia's EU accession treaty was finally signed in December 2011, after years of tortuous negotiations, and endorsed at a referendum the following month.
