Why would it affect property holders? I don't think there's anything in the article that wasn't known, except that Croatia is looking at getting into the EU in 2011, so much for the rats Sanader and Ahern claiming (in 2003) that it'd be 2007 at the latest - and still they continue to con the electorate.  |

I think this is just a warning shot to the Cro politicians. The article even says as much. Its posturing rather than reality. However, I can never really get my head round how effective such threats are becuase I can never see what's in it for Sanader personally to bring Cro to the EU.
On a related but slightly different topic, someone told me recently that EU accession was being felt in inflation: it seems that the populace are being fed some story that this is why the prices of bread and petrol have risen. Nothing to do with the global cost of wheat or oil apparently, just EU harmonisation.

Carol, the inflation trick is being used in Russia right now - foreign intrigue means that the price of bread and milk are rising - of course it doesn't make sense to anyone with half a brain, but when the media are government controlled (there as here) it's hard to get the truth.

Bread and Milk are massively subsidised in Croatia, a true sot country at heart.
