lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Croatia, that old European nation with a long history and an interesting culture, should be brought into the European family of nations known as the European Union as soon as possible. Croatia, a country applying to join the Union, paradoxically has a longer history than some of the founding states of the European Community, such as Belgium and Luxembourg. Zagreb and Split are very European places, while Dubrovnik is a jewel in Europe’s cultural crown. During this debate, most of the speakers, including myself, have spoken wearing ties. It is worth remembering that ties were invented by the Croats and it should also be emphasised here in the European Parliament, which so values liberty and freedom, that the Croatian port of Dubrovnik was the first in Europe to prohibit trading in slaves at the beginning of the 15th century. Given this situation, we do not even have a moral right to hold back Croatia’s access to the Union."@en1
