External Relations of the EU and the Member States: Competence, Mixed Agreements, International Responsibility, and Effects of International Law - National report for Croatia

Croatia is not an EU Member State, but has started the process of alignment of its legislation with the acquis with the aim of future integration into the European Union. Croatia signed a Stabilisation and Association Agreement on 29 October 2001 and the Agreement is in force as of 1 February 2005. Additionally, an Interim Agreement, covering trade and trade-related measures, was concluded parallel with the Stabilisation and Association Agreement and was in force from 1 March 2002 until entering into force of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement. Croatia applied for EU membership on 21 February 2002 and accession negotiations were opened on 4 October 2005. Due to the fact that Croatia is not a Member State, some questions could not be applied to Croatian position and were, for that reason, difficult if not impossible to answer. Nevertheless, Croatian national rapporteurs tried to approach such questions from a different angle – the one of an associated state on its way to EU accession.
