Fri 13 May 2022:
Croatia on Friday approved a law that paves the way for the introduction of the euro currency next year.
The country’s 151-seat assembly voted 117-13 in favor of the legislation to bring in the euro, with one member abstaining.
Croatia, which joined the EU in 2013, is due to replace the Croatian kuna with the euro on Jan. 1, 2023.
Right-wing parties said earlier that they were against the legislation, arguing that the transition would increase poverty.
