The European Commission has declined to comment on the latest developments regarding plans to introduce dual-alphabet signs in Vukovar and the opposition to possible Cyrillic signs in the eastern Croatian town.
We do not comment on details in relation to the events in Vukovar. We only want to remind about two European Union principles: the rule of law which means that the laws should be respected and the government should ensure the enforcement of laws. The other principle is reconciliation and protection of minorities. These principles are an integral part of the values embraced by the EU, said spokesman for the European Enlargement Commissioner Peter Stano on Tuesday when asked to comment on the rising opposition to the possibility of installing Cyrillic signs in Vukovar.
