lpv:translated text	"− Croatia’s accession to the European Union is a significant incentive for the Balkan countries to pursue their own efforts and reforms with a view to their future accession to the Union. Croatia’s accession to the Union will extend the area of peace and stability in Europe, and it therefore entails a dual European and regional dimension, which should encourage the Western Balkan countries to achieve greater cohesion at regional level. I welcome the positive progress made by Croatia with regard to respect for and protection of minorities, though the country should also take appropriate measures to ensure greater protection of the Roma minority and its participation in civil society. The Roma are still discriminated against and do not have adequate representation in Croatian central and local political authorities. Synergies must be developed and implemented at regional level, particularly within the framework of the Danube Strategy, as more social interchange and economic trade would benefit the entire Danube macro-region. I refer in particular to cooperation in the areas of transport, the environment and economic development. Greater cohesion at regional level will facilitate the future access of the entire Western Balkans region to the European Union."@en1
