Croatia was due on the 2 October 2009 to resume much-delayed European Union membership talks, with crime and corruption as the agenda’s most sensitive issues.

Neighbouring Slovenia lifted a long-standing veto on Croatia’s accession negotiations in September 2009 after the two sides agreed to resolve a border dispute via EU-led arbitration.
