CROATIA: Courting the EU

On the streets of the capital and in popular tourist spots you can often see Roma playing music or begging for change. The Roma in Croatia are said to number 40,000, yet only 4% have basic housing and 76% live in poverty. The treatment of minorities is particularly important to the European Commission and still a major obstacle to EU admission.
