EU Member States decided in Luxemburg on 3 October 2005 to launch accession negotiations with Croatia. The opening of the accession negotiations was made possible by the assessment of the Council of Ministers that Croatia was fully co-operating with the International War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) set up by the UN.
