History

[edit]

Croatian president Zoran Milanović stated that his country should block ratification of Finland's NATO accession until electoral reform measures are implemented in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina, though the Foreign Minister expressed the government's support for any application.[1] In July 2022, Croatia fully ratified Finland's NATO membership application.[2]
