"Austria leads EU opposition to Turkey
Divisions over EU expansion to Croatia and Turkey will surface at a meeting of Europe’s foreign ministers on Monday.
UK foreign minister Jack Straw will be chairing the meeting and will seek to delay detailed talks over the term of Ankara’s EU entry bid until September.
Austria, Hungary and Slovakia are set to insist that if pre-planned negotiations with Turkey are to begin on October 3 then talks with Croatia must also begin at the same time.
Zagreb’s membership bid is currently stalled amid EU demands that Croatia steps up efforts to hand over indicted war criminal Ante Gotovina."
