Voicing regret that the talks had not begun as scheduled, Foreign Minister Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic told reporters in Brussels on Thursday that this was "neither a triumph nor a failure" for her country, "but a normal process" that would not significantly slow down Croatia's progress.
Izražavajući žaljenje što razgovori nisu započeli kada je to planirano, ministrica vanjskih poslova Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović izjavila je u četvrtak novinarima u Brusselsu kako to "nije bio niti uspjeh niti neuspjeh" za njezinu zemlju, "nego normalan proces" koji neće značajno usporiti napredak Hrvatske.
