Met dank overgenomen van Zweeds voorzitterschap Europese Unie 2e helft 2009 i, gepubliceerd op vrijdag 11 september 2009.
  • - 
    The Presidency warmly welcomes the agreement reached between Croatia and Slovenia says Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt i. 
  • - 
    Prime Ministers Kosor and Pahor have shown European leadership in breaking a difficult deadlock.
  • - 
    This agreement underlines the strength of the European integration process and the virtue of dialogue and peaceful dispute settlement. It will promote regional stability and serves as a model for the Western Balkans as a whole.
  • - 
    Croatia's accession is in the interest not only of Croatia itself and of Slovenia, but of the neighbouring region as well, and of the entire EU. I am fully convinced that Croatia will now put in even more efforts on reforms and other issues in order to meet all outstanding conditions for membership.
