Croatia is on schedule to become the EU's 28th member...after Sunday's 66% approval of the 'yes/no' referendum.
But...turnout was low...only about 47%...with 33% voting against joining the EU...as membership appeal wanes because of huge ongoing bailouts.
All EU members must ratify Croatia's membership...with actual entry predicted for July 2013.
