"I welcome the positive result of the referendum in Croatia yesterday. The Croatian voters have spoken and they have chosen a future within the EU. With the result, Croatia has taken a further decisive step towards membership. Croatia's path towards the EU is an example for the whole region. It shows that with a committed effort and hard work, membership is within reach. Croatia has reached a high level of preparedness for membership. It is now important that the last effort is made to address the remaining issues.
