The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 said today in Europe House that he does not consider the first decade of Croatia\u2019s membership in the European Union \u201ceither a success or a failure\u201d, and that he will personally fight against the Union becoming a federation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The European Union is imagined by many as a federation, which in my opinion, it should never become. I will personally fight against it,” President Milanovi\u0107 said in his opening remarks at the conference \u201cTen Years of the Republic of Croatia\u2019s Membership in the European Union\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference was organized by the Miko Tripalo Centre for Democracy and Law under the auspices of the President of the Republic, and in conjunction with the European Commission Representative Office in Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 added that he opposes \u201cany idea of \u200b\u200ba federal state, of Brussels replacing Belgrade, Budapest, Vienna. I don’t want that. I don’t want us to have a centre of power again,” he added. He also considers the first ten years of membership \u201cneither a success nor a failure\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The EU budget is so small that you really can’t do anything with it except build innovation centres, a bridge or two, a fire station, all the things that I see outside of Zagreb every week, and that’s good because there is nothing else,” President Milanovi\u0107 noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croatia has been a member of the Union since 1 July 2013, and neighbouring countries are still in the waiting room. “We waited a long time to become a member of the EU, but not as long as the Western Balkan countries have been waiting”, the President said, and described it as “some form of abuse and irresponsibility” towards those countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
