"Hrvatski narod prebrodio je rat i teškoće u izgradnji mirnih odnosa s vašim susjedima i u izgradnji zrele demokratije u jednoj od najljepših zemalja na zemljinoj kugli", rekao je Bush.
"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.
