Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor announced at Thursday's government session that Polish PM Donald Tusk would most probably visit Zagreb next week and bring an English-language draft of the treaty on Croatia's accession to the European Union.

"That will be another important step in the big job of Croatia's EU accession," she said.

"There are some decisions still to be made by the end of September, when the government will pass a decision to launch the procedure for the signing of the accession treaty, which is our next legal step towards its signing," Kosor said.

She added that "the EU, among other things, has to obtain the European Parliament's consent for the text of the treaty," which she expects in November.

"This is the big finish," Kosor said at the government session which adopted a report on technical alignment with the EU acquis communautaire from 23 September 2010 to 7 September 2011.
