I am currently in PR process under FSW program and I have been accepted one month ago. Usually for my country (Croatia) takes around 13 to 15 months for application to be processed.
Since new program called Expressed Entry is announced, I was wondering should I transfer my application to that program since it is likely to be finished much faster.
I would like to hear other opinions on this.
Thank you.

You cannot "transfer" your existing application to express entry. But, you are free to apply again through express entry once it opens. But bear in mind that even though express entry is supposed to be faster, it WILL be harder to qualify for.
