There is no European Union member-state which questions Croatia's prospective EU membership, Croatia's chief negotiator in the EU accession talks, Vladimir Drobnjak said at a conference on the adjustment of the public and private sector ahead of Croatia's admission to the European bloc in Zagreb on Thursday.

"There is no EU member-state to question Croatia's membership any longer," Drobnjak said explaining three main reasons for "postponement" in the process of Croatia's integration into the EU.

Those reasons were the constitutional crisis, the financial crisis and the crisis of ennui among EU members, the Croatian negotiator said at the conference which was organised by the KING ICT company.

Croatia's EU entry talks are nearing completion, and seven negotiation areas remain to be closed, he recalled.
