"This important step forward by Croatia towards membership is also a signal to the rest to of South Eastern Europe: It shows that enlargement works, that the EU is serious about its commitment, and that structural European reforms in the countries pay off," he stressed.
"Ovaj važan korak naprijed za Hrvatsku prema članstvu također je signal ostatku jugoistočne Europe: To pokazuje da proširenje djeluje, da je EU ozbiljna glede svoje predanosti te se strukturne europske reforme u zemljama isplate", istaknuo je.
