Send to KindleSlovenia's Parliament ratified Croatia's European Union entry bid in a unanimous vote on Tuesday, paving the way for Croatia to join the bloc on 1 July as the 28th member state.
The move follows the two ex-Yugoslav republics' agreement last month to set aside a 20-year old dispute over a shuttered bank that had blocked Zagreb's accession path.
Slovenia had so far refused to ratify Croatia's EU accession treaty because of a dispute over Slovenian lender Ljubljanska Banka (LB). LB closed down without reimbursing its Croatian depositors when Slovenia and Croatia declared independence in 1991.
So far, 22 out of EU's 27 member-states have ratified the Croatian accession treaty.
The European Commission adopted last week its last Monitoring Report on the country's readiness for joining the EU. The Commission declared that Croatia is prepared to join the bloc.
