ZAGREB, July 7 (Reuters) – Croatia’s parliament gave its support on Thursday to a joint bid with Hungary to stage the 2012 European soccer championships finals. Hungary’s parliament approved the bid earlier this week.
It is Croatia’s second attempt to host the tournament after a joint bid with Bosnia for the 2008 finals failed.
The other bidders for 2012 are Greece, Italy, Russia, Turkey and Poland and Ukraine jointly. The decision will be made in December 2006.
Austria and Switzerland are joint hosts of Euro 2008.
