Mr President, I welcome the prospect of Croatia's accession, not only in itself, but also, as Commissioner Verheugen said, as a practical demonstration of the EU's commitment to the eventual accession of other Balkan countries.
Kan vi gøre noget for at forhindre, at den, indtil videre, manglende underskrivelse af stabilitetspagten bliver betragtet som en forhindring for at indlede forhandlingerne?
