"Mr President, I supported the proposal, but Croatia needs to keep up to speed with its reforms. All of society must be completely involved in the reform work. Accession to the EU will succeed, as it has the support and commitment of the people behind it. Even after accession, Croatia will need to continue with its implementation of half-accomplished reforms, especially the reform of the judiciary and the eradication of corruption in high places.
In the area of the economy, Croatia must continue with its structural reforms, improve levels of employment, revitalise the labour market, and strengthen the state economy to improve competitiveness. All this also applies to those Member States of the EU in the throes of recession.
We welcome Croatia to a Union of peace, prosperity and wellbeing. It would also be a dangerous case of double standards to block Serbia’s aspirations to EU accession in December. Serbia is the leader in the Western Balkans that is reforming and steadily developing its European perspective. Macedonia is also being treated unfairly on account of the political row over its name."@en1
