lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, thank you. Twenty-two years ago, Croatia fought for and eventually won its independence, for which it paid with the lives of many of its nationals. That independence has now been surrendered to the European Union. To add insult to injury, Croatia has had to pay to be allowed to surrender. Part of this price was handing over two of its generals, Generals Markac and Gotovina, to the UN War Crimes Tribunal so that they could be stigmatised – quite unjustly, as it turns out – as war criminals. Croatia is praised in the report for its democratic consolidation. Let us hope that democracy is contagious and that it spreads to the EU and its worst Member States. Croatia has been told that it must respect the rights of minorities. If some Croats have problems with minorities at present, then, in the words of Al Jolson: ‘you ain’t seen nothin’ yet’. Wait until the poor of Africa and Asia, admitted by the EU through its common immigration policy, turn up in your towns and cities and outnumber your tiny population."@en1
