Synopsis
Matt Prodger examines the effects of organised crime and corruption in Croatia, as the country stands on the brink of EU membership.

Croatia cursed by crime and corruption
Read Crossing Continents reporter Matt Prodger's article for BBC News Online, investigating warnings from the Foreign Office telling visitors to Croatia to beware of the threat of organised crime.
