Vandoren: Croatia's EU accession treaty to be ratified on time

ZAGREB, Sept 13 (Hina) - The head of the Delegation of the European Union to Croatia, Ambassador Paul Vandoren, said in Zagreb on Thursday he was confident the process of ratifying Croatia's Treaty of Accession with the European Union would be completed on time, namely before 1 July 2013.

Twelve countries have ratified Croatia's accession treaty which is a good sign. I am confident the process would be competed on time, Vandoren said after taking part in the presentation of the results of a survey carried out by Ipsos Puls agency.

The ratification will most definitely depend on the key comprehensive monitoring report which the European Commission is scheduled to present on 10 October, Vandoren said.
