The European Commission on Wednesday debated and accepted the plan of resolutions for realisation of political and economic conditions included in the regional entry to the EU for Croatia, Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia and Albania. The final decision based on submitted reports and resolutions will be made by the EU's Council of Ministers at a meeting in Luxembourg on 27 and 28 April.
