greeneyedsoul Posted December 31, 2022 Share 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?

greeneyedsoul Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Queen of Europe, Ursula von der Leyen, will visit Zagreb tomorrow and grab a coffee with our PM. The coffee will, of course, be paid for in euros. Edited December 31, 2022 by greeneyedsoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
