Croatia EU referendum: Voters back membership
Near complete results from Croatia's referendum on European Union membership suggest that a large majority of people want to join the EU in 2013.
With nearly 99% of the votes counted, 66% of voters backed the membership. About 33% were against.
But officials expressed disappointment at the low turnout of about 44%.
Croatia signed an EU accession treaty last year and should join in July 2013, once all 27 existing members of the union have ratified the deal.
