Central European nations join free trade agreement
Ten Central European countries — Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo (under UN auspices), Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and Romania — on Thursday signed a free trade agreement.
The trade pact consolidates 32 existing bilateral free trade agreements, will help non-World Trade Organization countries prepare for membership and possibly lead to accession to the European Union as economic cooperation expands.
The Central European trade agreement covers a market of some 25 million people.
