"The Croatian people have overcome war and hardship to build peaceful relations with your neighbours and to build a maturing democracy in one of the most beautiful countries on the face of the earth," Bush said.
"Hrvatski narod nadvladao je rat i nedaće te izgradio miroljubive odnose sa svojim susjedima i zrelu demokraciju u jednoj od najljepših zemalja na zemljinoj kugli", kazao je Bush.
