"Enlargement and integration of new Member States has been the European Union’s most successful foreign policy. The next phase of this policy must involve the accession of Croatia to the European Union in the near future.
Ethnic Hungarians in Romania of course pay close attention to ethnic conflicts taking place around the world, and we have been following events in former Yugoslavia’s recent history too. The biggest lesson from its recent history is that intolerance on the part of the majority, ethnic impatience and nationalist extremism can easily lead a region into conflagration. Croatia has set an example in the region, in terms of both its political and its economic development since the end of the Yugoslav wars.
Croatia’s accession to the European Union must not be delayed; Member States’ support for enlargement must not wane. We must provide the prospect of European Union membership to the whole of the Balkan region, including Serbia and Kosovo. Prompt accession of Croatia to the European Union will foster peaceful coexistence among the peoples of south-eastern Europe and contribute to stability and development in the region. With its exemplary recent past, Croatia has demonstrated that it is an integral part of the European family."@en1
