Brussels' plan came under fierce criticism in Croatia, with many complaining that it was reminiscent of the former Yugoslavia and would slow Croatia's road to EU accession by lumping it together with other states that are not as far along in the process.
Plan Brisela naišao je na žestoke kritike u Hrvatskoj, jer su se mnogi žalili da podseća na bivšu Jugoslaviju i da će usporiti put Hrvatske ka pridruživanju EU svrstavajući je sa zemljama koje nisu odmakle toliko daleko u procesu pridruživanja.
