An accession treaty between Croatia and the European Union will be signed this autumn either in Brussels, Warsaw or Zagreb, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told a news conference on Friday on the occasion of the start of his country's six-month rotating presidency over the 27-strong European bloc.
We will sign the treaty this autumn, we still do not have the exact date. With regard to the place, there are three possibilities -- Brussels, Warsaw or Zagreb, Sikorski told a gorup of Brussels correspondents who arrived in Warsaw on the occasion of the ceremony of Poland's takeover of the EU presidency.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Friday he expected Croatia to sign a treaty on accession to the EU this autumn and that he would personally bring the treaty to Zagreb before the signing ceremony.
Tusk said the Polish EU Presidency and European institutions would do their best to make the treaty ready for signing as soon as possible, adding that the date of signing was not the most important thing at the moment, considering that the most difficult part of the job had been finished.
