"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, 20 years after its declaration of independence, and roughly eight years since it submitted its application for accession to the European Union, Croatia has achieved an historic objective in its process of integration into the European Union. This has also been shown today by the enthusiasm with which this Chamber has welcomed the Members of the Croatian Parliament, thus concluding the accession negotiations on a positive note.
It is in this way that accession negotiations with Croatia have come to an end, concluding almost six years of work and many years of preparation, which have significantly changed the socio-political, economic and cultural landscape of the country. The positive outcome of this process will bolster support for European Union membership amongst Croatian citizens and will encourage them to participate in the European Union accession referendum and to support the Accession Treaty.
It is important for Croatia to continue its efforts to resolve the bilateral issues with several countries, such as Serbia, that are still outstanding, in particular, with regard to border demarcation, missing persons, property restitution and refugees."@en1
