The European Union is in trouble. The rolling Euro crisis has brought not just some European nations, but the entire world, to the brink of financial disaster. The EU is less popular in its member countries than it has ever been and one of the biggest - Great Britain - is discussing leaving. So why is Croatia happy to sign up?
