Croatia joins Europe with open border and euro switch, hailed as 'a day for history books'

The boom gates at Croatian border posts swung up at midnight Sunday as the country switched to the euro and entered Europe's passport-free zone. Hailing "nothing is the same after this," Croatian PM Plenkovic handed Euro notes to treat the visiting Von Der Leyen and himself cups of coffees. But bidding farewell to the currency of kuna, which was put in use in 1994 leaves Croatians mixed feelings. Croatia, a former Yugoslav republic of 3.9 million people joined the EU in 2013, with its economy highly tourism-reliant. It will continue to apply strict border checks on its eastern frontier with non EU neighbors Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
