"President Danielsson, thank you for that answer and I am pleased to hear what the Council decided yesterday on the matter. However, you leave it to me to confirm that respect for minorities is truly part of the founding spirit of the Union, as is respect for cultural diversity, and multilingualism obviously represents an immediate aspect of that. The ominous fact is that the regional statute adopted by the Regional Council of Istria on 9 April has been suspended, giving the constitutional court a further year to check for any unconstitutionality. Considering that this was also a principal reason for the resignation of the Croatian Minister for Integration, I am wondering whether there is an internal struggle going on to the detriment of the Italian-speaking minority, or whether, instead – and this would be even more serious – the Croatian constitution really does not protect minorities and particular cultures. I wonder how the Croatian government can think about moving towards membership of the European Union with such attitudes."@en1
