said on Friday. The implementation of the interim agreement started less than three weeks ago, so it is too early for any official assessments, but so far there has been no information on any problems in the implementation of the agreement, the source told Hina.

ZAGREB/BRUSSELS, Jan 18 (Hina) - So far, no difficulties have been
reported in the implementation of an interim agreement between
Croatia and the European Union, which became effective on January
1, a source at the European Commission said on Friday.
The implementation of the interim agreement started less than three
weeks ago, so it is too early for any official assessments, but so
far there has been no information on any problems in the
implementation of the agreement, the source told Hina.
The interim agreement, which activates trade and transport-related
regulations of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA),
was adopted to avoid waiting for the ratification of the SAA, which
would last around two years. The EU Council of Ministers should
ratify the interim agreement at the end of this month so that it
could officially become effective on March 1.
The European Commission will adopt its first report on the course of
the implementation of the interim agreement and the implementation
of the SAA with Croatia most probably in March.
