Croatian Foreign and European Affairs Minister Vesna Pusic said in New York on Wednesday that an agreement on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) has resolved a dispute between Croatia and the European Commission, although there would be differences in opinions in the future as well.
"The problems is solved," said Pusic who is in New York to attend a session of the UN General Assembly. Asked if she agreed with assessments that the government did not communicate well with either the Croatian citizens or the European Union regarding the EAW, Pusic said that as a member of the government she could not agree with this assessment.
"I believe this is only a question of the sequence and the steps, nothing has been lost, there are certain rules within the EU which, as a EU member, we will, must and should respect. For the part which we believe is not entirely fair and equal for all countries, we have a possibility and space to advocate that it be changed," Pusic said.
Asked if Croatia really needed all of this, the minister said she did not know. She underlined that things would not always go smoothly which is why it is important to talk and negotiate.
