"Our main message today is: 'Use your vote. Don't let others choose for you," which is the official slogan of the campaign, Ljubić Kutnjak said, adding that the campaign is under way in all 27 European Union member states.
The European Parliament highlights the importance of democracy and the collective responsibility of "all of us citizens" to maintain and protect democracy, Ljubić Kutnjak said.
"We believe that democracy is not only a fundamental right but also a common responsibility of us all, because voting is the healthiest way to exercise this responsibility," she added.
The European Parliament Office presented a four-minute documentary film to illustrate the fragility of democracy through the personal stories of several elderly Europeans.
"They speak first hand about the restriction of personal freedoms and the experience of living under repressive regimes. They want to remind their grandchildren and future generations that democracy should not be taken for granted," Ljubić Kutnjak said.
The European Parliament election in Croatia will be held on 9 June. The latest Eurobarometer survey indicates positive trends when it comes to key indicators.
In Croatia, 61% of respondents said they were interested in the European election, with 57% pointing out they would go to the polls if they were held next week. The vast majority of citizens (83%) believe that Croatia benefits from EU membership, the EP Office said in a press release.
