With seamless travel, communities will grow closer together.
Now we need to work to preserve the benefits of Schengen.
Improve our common home and make it even safer. https://t.co/V0JwAUGq52
🇭🇷 It is the season of new beginnings.

And there is no place in Europe where this is more true than here in Croatia.
Today the country joins the Schengen area and the Eurozone.
Two immense achievements.
I’m so glad to be here, on this day of joy and pride for Croatia. pic.twitter.com/d4A2JWoOXf
