ZAGREB, 3 May 2022 - Opposition Bridge party MP Zvonomir Troskot said on Tuesday that Croatia should postpone the introduction of the euro, warning that its introduction would cause an additional rise in prices.

"The national economy is not ready yet for euro introduction, that decision should be postponed during this time with the war current in Ukraine, armament in Europe and high inflation. It would not be a prudent move," he told a news conference.

Troskot warned that the introduction of the euro would cause additional inflation, recalling in that context the introduction of the euro in Slovenia and noting that it would cause a drop in the standard of living and a new wave of emigration.
