On January 22nd, Croatia will be holding a referendum to decide whether to apply for EU membership. A vote "yes" could make Croatia the EU's 28th member on July 1, 2013. Companies like beverage crate-maker Kaplast see great prospects. They would be producing goods "Made in the EU" for a market more than a hundred times larger than their own small country. But the road to the EU won't be an easy one for Croatian businesses. They'll have to make sure their products conform to strict EU standards. For more go to http://www.dw-world.de/dw/0,,3066,00.html
