greeneyedsoul Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Croatia adopts the euro currency and enters Europe’s passport-free Schengen zone after nearly a decade since joining the European Union. At midnight on January 1, 2023, the Central-European nation will bid farewell to its kuna currency and become the 20th member of the eurozone. It will also be the 27th nation in the passport-free Schengen zone, which enables more than 400 million people to move freely around its member nations. Are y'all ready for another set of new euro coin motifs? Fellow Croats, are we ready for another inflation? Did the @Bloodflowers. propaganda pay off and has Croatia left the Balkans?
