“Today is a day of joy and pride for the people of Croatia,” said the President of the Commission
It was found a while ago on the Croatian border with Slovenia the President of the European CommissionUrsula von der Leyen, welcoming Croatia to the Schengen zone and the “euro”.
“Today is a day of joy and pride for the people of Croatia,” said Ursula von der Leyen, speaking of the confirmation of “hard work” and “determination” on their part. He also noted that it is a “day of celebration” not only for Croats, but for all Europeans.
“We will need to work very closely together to protect the Schengen area and maintain its benefits because Schengen cannot be taken for granted” emphasized the President of the Committee and added that ” its operation has received challenges over time and continues to receive challenges . Schengen is about commitment and mutual trust.”
The next generations of Croatians will grow up in Schengen.
With seamless travel, communities will grow closer together.
Now we need to work to preserve the benefits of Schengen.
Improve our common home and make it even safer. https://t.co/V0JwAUGq52

“In Schengen we rely on each other and know that we can trust you and rely on you in Croatia. The one major achievement is being able to cross internal borders without checks. Being able to pay using the same EU currency is the other,” he added.
THE Ursula von der Leyen he added that “the euro makes us strong at home, facilitates investment and trade across borders, making our economy more active, helps create jobs, brings macroeconomic stability and reliability”.
At the same time, he said that “as the second most powerful currency in the world, the euro makes us stronger on the world stage. Indeed, the euro is one of our greatest collective achievements and means much more than a currency, it is about unity across borders and across languages.”
ðŸ‡ðŸ‡· It is the season of new beginnings.
And there is no place in Europe where this is more true than here in Croatia.
Today the country joins the Schengen area and the Eurozone.
Two immense achievements.
