Adoption by Croatia of the euro on 1 January 2023 (debate)
I would like to thank the Honourable Chair, the colleagues, the Honourable Commissioner, first and foremost to congratulate the rapporteurs, in particular my colleague Margarida, on this positive report. Countless times it has been shown that in times of crisis like this, strength is in communion and integration. That is why Croatia's further integration into the European Union is positive for both sides. I believe that Croatia's entry into the eurozone will strengthen both the Croatian and European economies. But we must not forget that the euro is not a goal, but a means for a better life for our citizens. Quality control of the euro changeover process is essential to save citizens from further increases. We must all work together to ensure that this positive news spills over into the daily lives of our people.
