Members of the Government of Croatia made a video-recording to thank the EU Commissioners: ‘Thank you, Europe!’

Members of the Government of the Republic of Croatia made a short video-recording today in 23 languages to thank the European Commission, which published its welcome-video on Friday, to mark the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union.

On Friday, the European Commission published a video via social networks, in which all EU Commissioners wished a welcome to Croatia in their mother tongues, on the occasion of Croatia’s accession. Croatian Ministers and the staff of the Prime Minister’s office thanked them in the 23 official languages of the European Union, and in Croatian, the 24th official language.

They replied to: “Kroatien willkommen!”, “Zapraszamy!” or “Benvenuti Croazia!” with: “Danke schön!”, “Dziękuję bardzo!” and “Grazie mille!”

The Government of the Republic of Croatia invites the citizens to join in the festivities on the Internet, using the hashtag: #CroatiaEU. With their own posts on social networks, they will thus create a unique online story about Croatia.

Stories, photos, statuses and posts of the citizens from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, hashtagged: #CroatiaEU will be shown at the central celebration of Croatia’s accession to the EU, in Zagreb, on June 30th 2013. Internet users will be able to follow the event on YouTube Channel of the Government of the Republic of Croatia: http://www.youtube.com/wwwvladahr.
