Josipovic recalled that Croatia had fulfilled requirements for its entry into the EU.
There are some people who fear that the big Europe will swallow us, that we will disappear and that our tradition will go into oblivion, Josipovic said adding that it was not true and that events such as this ceremony in Babina Greda proved that nobody would deprive Croats of their heritage.
Your costumes, customs, horses and lore bear witness to the cultural heritage of this region which will become a part of Europe's heritage, he said at the show of local horses.
