”The Croatian Government is doing an impressive job in order to facilitate the swift finalisation of the EU membership negotiations. Croatia can set an example for the region, showing how corruption can be defeated and EU membership possible. I welcome the openness and the ambitions of the Croatian Government”, stated Gunnar Hökmark MEP, Vice-Chairman of the EPP Group and Chairman of European Parliament’s Croatian delegation, after a meeting with the Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor on Tuesday.
”We should all look forward to the swift accession of Croatia to the European Union, thereby manifesting that the EU can meet new challenges also in times of economic crisis.”
