The Cape Verde Connection

Cape Verde offers great potential emerging market and is fast becoming a tourism hotspot, which all increase the interest amongst investors, however full entry into the EU still remains to be seen. While it can be argued that since Cape Verde is not technically a part of Europe, it can be confusing to understand how it is possible to be considered for entry into EU membership. Yet the country has a long connection with Portugal, having been a Portuguese colony for around 500 years, until it parted in the mid 70s to develop independence.
