ZAGREB, Aug 12 (Hina) - According to results of a poll of 37
economists, which the Reuters agency published on Thursday, Croatia will very
likely join the European Union in 2009, Serbia in 2015, while Bulgaria and
Romania will be admitted to the Union in 2007."The poll of 37 economists, taken on August 9-11, showed expectations
were largely unchanged from the last survey in May, although the latest poll
gave slightly higher chances of 2007 entry for both Bulgaria and Romania and
pushed back Serbia's likely EU entry date from May's 2012 forecast," the agency
reported.
"Meanwhile Croatia, which was made a European Union entry candidate in
June, may be able to join the EU at the same time as Romania and Bulgaria if it
sprints through its negotiations," it added.
