doit adopter

Hi, could anyone help me to translate the following sentence into english?

La Slovaquie doit adopter à son tour la monnaie unique européene le 1er janvier 2009, portant le nombre de pays de la zone euro à seize.

My try: In turn, Slovakia adopted the single currency of Europe on the 1st January 2009, bringing the number of countries in the eurozone to sixteen.

I am unsure of the verb devoir in this context.

Many thanks
It's in the present tense, so has to adopt would be the closest translation. Is the article from before 2009? Or does it perhaps use present tense to express past facts?
