Croatia, Macedonia, Turkey remain on track for EU membership

EU foreign ministers have reassured officials from the three countries that the door to the EU remains open despite a stalemate on entry talks with Croatia, and overall uncertainty about the bloc’s expansion.

EU envoys also met with representatives from Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia at Saturday’s talks at a medieval castle in the southern Czech Republic. But those four countries’ hopes of joining lag far behind Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband told reporters at Saturdays talks at a medieval castle in the southern Czech Republic that the EUs enlargement will only make Europe stronger.
