The expansion of the EU is not dangerous for or threatening to EU's current structure, but a chance for the continent to develop and prosper, Sanader asserted.

ZAGREB, Sept 13 (Hina) - Croatian Deputy Foreign Minister Ivo
Sanader on Monday addressed the 37th Congress of the European
Journalists' Association in Berlin, speaking about the expansion
of the European Union (EU) from the point of view of a common future
in Europe.
Sanader said that after resolving its major political issues,
Croatia expected more intense relations with the EU and impending
integration with European institutions.
The expansion of the EU is not dangerous for or threatening to EU's
current structure, but a chance for the continent to develop and
prosper, Sanader asserted.
He added that in expanding the EU, the creation of new division
lines must be avoided in Europe, as must the classification of
countries in the first, second, and third category.
Speaking about the Stability Pact for Southeast Europe, Sanader
said Croatia would participate in its implementation because it
would be a parallel process; on the one hand, participating
countries would resolve open political issues among them, and on
the other, they would join the EU on an individual basis.
Sanader also thanked the European Journalists' Association for
accepting Croatia among its members.
