ZAGREB, Oct 24 — Croatia’s conservative and eurosceptic party Hrvatski Suverenisti began a two-week drive today to collect signatures in a bid to force a referendum on whether to adopt the euro as the country’s currency.
The centre-right government, led by Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, is working to achieve euro adoption from the beginning of 2023 and hopes to get a green light from the euro zone in the first half of 2022. The eurosceptics say the economy is too weak and uncompetitive to be ready to adopt the euro and doing so would cause price rises.
The government says a referendum is not necessary, arguing that Croats already accepted a common currency when they voted in a referendum to join the EU nearly a decade ago.
