Bulgaria ratified Croatia’s Treaty of Accession to the European Union
By an absolute majority, Bulgaria’s National Assembly today ratified the Treaty of Accession of Croatia to the European Union, in the presence of the President of the Croatian Parliament, Boris Sprem.
“This act is an expression of Bulgaria’s consistent policy in support of the European future of the region and we are among the first member states to ratify the Treaty,” Foreign Minister Nickolay Mladenov told Parliament.
“Europe acts as a strong magnet, as a motive for change and modernisation in our region. The success of Croatia is a very clear message to the countries of the Balkans, whose place both in historical and cultural terms is in the big European family,” he said.
Minister Mladenov issued a reminder that Bulgaria has proceeded on the same long road of reforms and he expressed confidence that the will and capacity of the Croatian state and society will be an example to other countries in the region that EU membership is an achievable goal.
