Croatian President-Brussels is bullying Ukraine

While Ukraine has long held ambitions to join the EU, irresponsible officials in Brussels are treating Kiev with contempt, Croatian President Zoran Milanovic has claimed, as tensions heat up across the shared border with Russia.

Speaking on the RTL TV channel on Sunday, Zagreb’s leader shared his opinions on the former Soviet republic’s relations with the 27-member bloc.

According to Milanovic, Kiev “has been in a frightening position in relation to the EU, which treats Ukraine irresponsibly. They have received nothing from the EU, and they have been promised billions and billions.”

He went on, going as far as to say that “Ukraine is being bullied by the same bureaucrats from Brussels who have bullied other states.” He accused officials from the bloc of selling the Eastern European nation “a fog” and “promising them some kind of associated status.”

“The country, according to the EU, is in a very bad situation. They used to be developed, but now the GDP per capita is at the level of Kosovo,” the Croatian president added.
