The European Union issued its landmark decision to begin talks on Croatia's European Union entry Tuesday. The Dnevnik newspaper said the decision would likely lead to an increase in foreign investment in Croatia.
Croatia's Prime Minister Ivo Sanader was quoted as saying the invitation to begin membership talks represented the opening of a new page in Croatia's history.
