The GONG nongovernmental organisation on Wednesday called on the Croatian government to make public the results of Croatia's accession negotiations with the European Union in clear and plain language for citizens, and urged public institutions to respond to citizens' requests for information about their work in a timely fashion.

In its statement issued on the International Right to Know Day, September 28, GONG warns that it is still not clear to the public which results the EU membership negotiations have produced, which can undermine the right and the obligation of Croatians to make a well-thought-out decision at the forthcoming EU membership referendum.

GONG also calls on media to provide the public with an easily understandable interpretation of the information.
