"Mr President, I work very closely with colleagues from the Croatian Parliament on behalf of the European Parliament, hence my intervention.
At the very moment it declared independence, Croatia decided that the European Union was the key to its future. We should credit the Croatian authorities for all the action they have taken to resolve crucial issues. I am referring, for example, to the reform of the public sector and the judicial system, and to the actions aimed at combating corruption. Croatia is cooperating closely with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague. It is to be commended for the provision included in its Constitution on the integration of national minorities into social and political life.
Croatia needs the European Union, and the European Union needs Croatia, amongst other reasons because of its geostrategic location. Croatia’s accession will help to stabilise the Western Balkans and to ensure that democracy develops fully in the region."@en1
