Today, Sunday, the State of Croatia adopted the single European currency, the euro, and abolished border procedures for European passport holders, which are two main stops for this country since it joined the European Union nearly a decade ago.
Thus, Croatia, located in the Balkans, bid farewell to its currency, the Kuna, to become the twentieth country in the eurozone, according to the Emirati newspaper Al-Khaleej.
Croatia has also officially joined the Schengen area, which allows more than 400 million people to move without visas between its countries, whose number has increased by entering Croatia to 27 countries.
Observers believe that the adoption of the euro will contribute to supporting the Croatian economy at a time when inflation is rising around the world due to the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which caused an increase in food and fuel prices.
