anees about the changes. a stephanie tucker reports from saw gram. it's not just a new year. it's also a whole new currency. and here crecia feelings are mixed. seems every, every country who took on the euro, you less than the stuff leaving the went down you i think is going to be the same and ration me. so i'm not happy because i think everything will be more expensive. to be honest. i don't really care about that much. i think it's probably a natural transition, and that's why it's me, when it comes to business imports, exports and the tourism crecia is hugely reliant on many say it's a benefit. more than half of our external trades is done with the euro zone countries, and approximately 2 thirds of the tourist overnight space. a done by the tourists who are coming from the euro area. so for us, it's a huge, it's important for our tourism, for our economy, be jeweler, mario not guy agrees. i think it will be easier to,

to work and many levels and we don't lose money on conversions. the challenge in the short term, however, is that for the next 2 weeks, the local currency can still be used to buy, but the change must be in euro's. we will be a little exchange, but though i will push more kind of payment than just to slowly transition i think i hope the card payment will work would if didn't break, then we are the 1st day of 20. 23 has another 1st 2. as the euro currently takes over your career is also entering the shank and zone. it's the 1st time a country adopt both on the same day. and that means that from now on, if you're entering or exiting from the change in zone know more identity or border trucks, most of creations, foreign visitors or european needs a lot, definitely know borders and border control or santa fe and

a fever and everything. yeah. for now, it's the new year old, that is one of the main subjects of conversation. and prices will continue to be displayed in both currencies as the people navigate their way through the transition menus austell, i'm sorry we're losing the kona, but nobody as the people, i feel sorry because i think a country which has its own currency maintains its identity and historical values, not just an economic and political change, but for many here the loss of a small sense of creation identity, even if it comes with benefits. stephanie decker, al jazeera zagreb, european commission president ursula vaughan de leon, traveled to a border crossing between croatia and slovenia. and hailed the milestone to decrease had joined the shannon area and the euro zone till immense achievements for the youngest member state of the european union and both reached on the very

for 3 good issues. one is substance substantial one because the interest rate will be lower and the credit rating will be better. the 2nd reason is stack and go gratia use. most of its business doing in euro's and creations are making their savings over the now in euro. and finally, it's a symbolic issue when gray shades becoming a part of hard main integration. also, european union security has been increased in brazil's capital ahead of the
