EU opens the way towards recognition for Liberland!
Answering a parliamentary question, President Junker confirms that whether Liberland, known as Gornja Siga, is in the EU “requires further clarification.” He thus agrees that it might not be. He also accepts that the area is the subject of negotiation between Croatia and Serbia. This means that either or both can help Liberland achieve the global recognition that its government and its people want.
“This is an extremely important development and represent real progress for us,” said Vit Jedlicka, President of Liberland.
“We are a step closer to knowing that it may not be EU territory and that it can become an independent sovereign state.”
President Junker’s comments were in reply to a question from EFDD MEP Bill Etheridge about whether the Liberland territory is part of the European Union.
Mr Etheridge expected a clear yes, but this is not the case.
