Addressing the Institute Tuesday night, Mesic said Croatian membership in the EU would offer the possibility of "starting the implementation of the final phrase of the project Unified Europe." The notion of a united Europe, stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals, could only be realised if all European states are truly included, he said.
Adresandu-se membrilor Institutului in seara de marti, Mesic a declarat ca aderarea croatiei la UE ar oferi posibilitatea "demararii etapei finale a proiectului unei Europe Unite". Notiunea unei Europe unite, intinzandu-se de la Atlantic la Urali, va putea fi transpusa in practica numai daca toate statele europene sunt cu adevarat incluse in acest concept, a adaugat el.
