Eu Day Light

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic stated at the Euronews Enlargement Summit in Brussels that they had discussed the EU's enlargement policy and the European prospects of candidate countries.

Plenkovic noted that Croatia's EU accession process was completed through the implementation of reforms, alignment with the EU acquis, and fulfillment of membership criteria. He stated that EU membership had brought stability, security, economic development, infrastructure investment, and new opportunities to his country.

Emphasizing the importance of maintaining the credibility of the enlargement process and meeting all criteria, alongside political will, Plenkovic said that Montenegro had made the most progress in accession negotiations. He added that Montenegro's EU membership by 2028 could be a realistic goal if the remaining issues, particularly those concerning the rule of law and good-neighborly relations, were resolved.
