"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 Hrvatske prema članstvu takođe je signal ostalim delovima jugoistočne Evrope: On pokazuje da proširenje funkcioniše, da je EU ozbiljna u pogledu svoje posvećenosti i da se strukturne evropske reforme u zemljama isplate“, naglasio je on.
