What Ivan Vilibor spoke about.

I am against any aid to Ukraine, except humanitarian aid. I welcome the decision of the Croatian Parliament to refuse to train Ukrainian soldiers in Croatia. The war in Ukraine is lost and no amount of money, weapons or equipment can change that. Maybe it can make the war a little longer. All the money in vain if there's no one to hold a gun. The Ukrainian army is in very poor condition, people ar

Dear Chairman, the largest money launderer in Southeast Europe is called the Croatian Democratic Union. According to estimates, approximately EUR 50 billion were stolen, washed away, mostly during the wars in the former Yugoslavia. The criminal elites cooperated well, while the poor were beating and losing everything. Operations were backed by intelligence services, protected by politicians, carri

Dear Chairman, (beginning of speech outside the microphone range) ... Europe's response to this attack is expected to be biased and corrupt. Foreign Affairs Commissioner Borrell here completely ignores the previous Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in downtown Damascus, where about a dozen people were killed. In recent years, there have been thousands of various Israeli airstrikes on Syria,

Dear Chairman, the economic governance of the Union can be described in three words: Arrogant self-destruction and hypocrisy. Despite the colonial mentality, Europe is no longer the center of the world, and the whole West is then a global minority in relation to the world. Sanctions are meaningless. Luxury cars are still going to Russia via Kazakhstan, Russian oil is coming to Europe via India, an

Dear Chairman, Commissar Ferreira, the Croatian National Audit Office has recently confirmed the thesis I have been repeating for years. Namely, Croatian waste management centres are a financial, technological and environmental disaster, and all these projects have been duly verified by the European Commission and JASPERS and financed from these cohesion funds. That is why we do not have to be sur

The European Union has almost no money of its own, but everything comes from donations from the Member States. This was the case at least until the development of own resources for the 2021-2027 financial envelope began. Borrowing 750 billion euros through eurobonds for Next Generation EU are not EU funds, on the contrary they are anti-EU funds because it is the repayment of this huge debt that wi

The economic semester means the coordination of the economic policies of the member states. When will these policies be harmonized, when will poorer member states reach the standard of wealthy member states? Never, ever, while pursuing such economic policies. A good example is my crown. So, why is there such a structure in the European institutions that people from the West and the old member coun

Dear Chairman, I voted against this report for incompetence and probably corruption. If you go to jaspers.eib.org, there you will see that this body, which is an infrastructure project advisory, was launched by the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and this European Investment Bank, whose report is here. They provide support, but actually make a whole range

Dear Chairman, security and defence policy is based on fantasies, not reality, which is why I voted against, among other things. Instead of focusing on peace, it focuses on war. It rests on the same fantasies as those that sanctions will break the Russian economy. President Macron has called a meeting at the Elysee Palace and is demanding that our NATO armies be sent to Ukraine. It's out of your m

Dear Chairman, I voted against this report. Why? Because what I warned was going to happen. In paragraph 10, I quote: ‘The financing costs borne by the Union budget, resulting from borrowing, of the European Union Recovery Instrument Next Generation EU are therefore expected to exceed the estimates initially programmed’. Namely, the Croatian prime minister and government and many others across Eur

Dear Chairman, the policy pursued here by the commoners, socialists, liberals and greens is suicidal. First, by lockdown, you destroyed entire branches of the economy – unscientific, undemocratic. Then you patched the holes with a debt of 750 billion euros. Then 13 sanctions that only destroy Europe, while Russia is never stronger and richer. Deindustrialization is under way, we read every now and

Dear Chairman, when we talk about disinformation, I know a person who for many years built his popularity on Facebook and then lost everything in 2020. Why? Because she wrote that next year, in 2021, a special certificate will be introduced that will limit people's rights. She was proclaimed a spread of conspiracy theories and lost everything on Facebook. In the end, this was achieved in 2021 with

Dear Chairman, my Croatia has declared itself a GMO-free country, but with this law it will no longer be able to remain so. My view is that NGTs should follow at least the same rules as old genomic techniques. This is about deregulation of genetically modified organisms and products derived from them. With the passing of this law, another new mass experiment begins on the population, citizens and

Dear Chairman, I voted against another resolution against Hungary, and this time by the name of the Situation in Hungary - frozen EU funds. Hungary has a right of veto because it says so in the agreements. These are the rules of the game agreed before accession, please. The Polish government has been harassed by Brussels for ten years because of the rule of law, and now that the new Prime Minister

Dear Chairman. The resolution is not good and will not help either peace or the people of Gaza, it is not just, nor is it realistic. Palestine or Gaza cannot be blamed for everything, and Israel cannot be blamed for anything. This shows that the arrogant politics of the West are riding on. In the Middle East, everything is escalating - from Lebanon, the Red Sea, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and all other

Dear Chair, this report expands the scope for the development and exploitation of geothermal energy. My Croatia has a huge geothermal potential at lower depths than the European average. The potential that Croatia has has has not yet been exploited. Only this small, researched part has a greater potential power of 1 GW than, say, the Krško nuclear power plant. This cost-effectiveness does not yet

Dear Chairman, plastic pellets and their impact on plastic pollution is significant. Every environmental catastrophe is a huge loss to life on earth, and so is this one in Galicia, however, 80% of marine litter comes from land, not from sea-related activities. That is why it is necessary for each country to build its own and self-adapted waste management system with the best available technologies

Dear Chairman, Commissioner for Agriculture Wojciechowski, I must convey here the concerns of Croatian grain producers. They're being killed by unfair trading practices. Namely, wheat is imported into Croatia from Ukraine at about 130 euros per tonne, while the price on world exchanges is about 230 euros per tonne. Croatian peasants are not protected. I don't really remember that they were ever pr

Dear Chairman, namely, a prominent Croatian television journalist once said, we entered the EU in order to be able to work in Europe. So if there is a union that needs to be entered in order to work with dignity in Croatia, I answered. In the first decade after the Homeland War, domestic peanut traitors sold 95 percent of Croatian banks, telecommunications, and a large share of oil, pharmaceutical

Dear Chair, I have had the opportunity to be part of the official delegation of the European Parliament in India, in the cities of Delhi and Mumbai. The intention of the delegation was to speed up the conclusion of the trade agreement. If you are traveling to India, leave all the prejudices at home because India is a country that develops at the speed of light and according to its model. They do n

Dear Chairman, for the last at least 30 years, since the world has been unipolar, we live in an atmosphere of arrogance where some can do what they want, and no one can do anything to them. After the October 7th terrorist attack, Israel had the right to self-defense. This right does not imply the right to destroy every building and everything that breathes in Gaza. No, we can't possibly equate chi

Dear Chairman, thank you very much. Why do young people leave Croatia? Except for injustice, riots and corruption and because no one wants to work for 500 euros anymore. The square of the apartment in Croatia goes over 3500 euros. However, the price of a square meter apartment when bought does not jump much from the price in other European countries, but all taxes and duties that the state takes,

Dear Chair, I strongly oppose the amendments to the Agreement on the European Union and the Agreement on the Functioning of the European Union. My Croatia accounts for only 0.4% of the Union economy and 0.8% of the population, and the most in this House has 1.7% of the voting power. The only real power to protect against bad policies is the Council. However, these changes are meant to eliminate al

Dear Chairman, I voted against this budget for a thousand reasons, but I will single out one reason. Again, the budget for ITER and EUROfusion, a programme that could permanently solve the energy problem, is being cut. Unfortunately, we are not interested in this. In 2020, I was the only one to warn that the budget is not decreasing. Then it's during lockdown a large part of the European economy w

With these Treaty changes, you are trying to subtly create from the European Union a supra-state, a bureaucratic body that should be more significant and powerful than any Member State. That won't work out for you. Never will the smaller nations allow you to return to the age of empires, to the Middle Ages or the Age of Austro-Hungarian Empire, because they have bloody paid for their independence,
