CRO/CROATIA CLOSES TWO MORE EU NEGOTIATION CHAPTERS

    www.setimes.com - Hungarian Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi, whose country holds the
    rotating EU presidency, said on Tuesday (April 19th) that the June target date for completing
    Croatia's accession talks is an ambitious but achievable goal, providing the country meets
    remaining benchmarks. He was speaking after an intergovernmental conference in Brussels
    during which Zagreb closed two more negotiation chapters -- on agriculture and rural
    development and regional policy. Croatia thus closed 30 of 35 chapters. EU Enlargement
    Commissioner Stefan Fuele says the European Commission does not plan to introduce a
    co-operation and verification monitoring mechanism for Croatia, as it did for Bulgaria and
    Romania.
