Recent polling done in Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania suggests that their people are perfect for EU accession. The polling carried out by the Austrian Lazarsfeld Center for the Social Sciences tells use that 54% of the Bulgarians, 57% of Romanians and 66% of Croatians say that corruption would not decline over the first five years after their country joins the bloc. Which given how they themselves would be bringing great expertise on the subject to Brussels would not be a great surprise. After all competition invariably drives up quality.
