This is gonna make a dreadful situation even worse, but I don’t see that he had much choice. He pretty much broke a lot of campaign promises.
Not only campaign promises. He submitted a deal to a referendum, urging a No vote. He got the No vote by a large margin, then turned around and accepted the deal in even worse form.
We spent a month this summer in Europe in Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, and Germany. Croatia is not on the Euro, it is on the kuna. While not cheap, it was quite reasonable. Montenegro, on the euro, is more expensive. I asked some of my Croatian colleagues why they wanted to go on the euro, and got responses about how it would make people consider Croatia as a big boy, or something of that sort. A huge mistake, I believe. I hope they are watching Greece, Spain, Portugal, Denmark - they are all getting hammered by the euro.
