SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, I have always known Croatia as a nation capable of beating the odds, capable of overcoming any challenge. You have shown that you have what it takes to succeed, to prosper, to lead. Ten years ago, by becoming Member State of the European Union, Croatia changed the course of history, its own history, and that of Europe.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, Ten years of building bridges with Europe and beyond. Ten years of excellence, ten years of proving every day that there is no old and no new Europe, that there are no big and no small powers in this project of ours. Friends, Europe will need to call upon the resilience personified in the people of Croatia if we are to overcome the era of polycrisis that we live in.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, Last week in Strasbourg, the European Parliament voted on the world's most advanced artificial intelligence legislation. Our groundbreaking A.I. law will allow us to be world leaders in digital and tech innovation based on EU democratic values. Because Europe has the ability to set the tone worldwide and lead responsibly, because our laws and we don't say this enough, we don't say this clearly enough. Our laws impact people's lives. And we need to say that more.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, That is Europe. A Europe that cares. A Europe that cannot be taken for granted. We will not be remembered for the challenges. We will remembered for our collective response. And I am proud of how Europe has stood up and continues to stand up in unity. And I am confident of the project that we will return to voters in less than one year and ask them to judge.

SOUNDBITE (English), Roberta METSOLA, President of the European Parliament, The European Parliament belongs to Croatians as much as to anyone else, because Europe is worth your time, your energy, your belief. So thank you, Croatia. Thank you for ten years of European membership. Thank you for helping to build bridges. And thank you for your commitment to Europe.
