The EC's recommendation is not only a major development for Croatia, but for the entire region, Barroso noted on Friday, hoping that the move will serve as an impetus for further reforms in other Balkan countries.
Preporuka EK nije samo važan događaj za Hrvatsku, nego i za celokupan region, istakao je Barozo u petak, nadajući se da će taj korak poslužiti kao podsticaj budućim reformama u drugim balkanskim zemljama.
