It is actually a new chapter in expansion negotiations.

We are not threatening, but we want to get more positive elements in the framework.

We shouldn't wait too long to revive the debate on the European future.

If Turkey does not fulfill the criteria, then Turkey should be bound in Europe by the strongest possible bond and if the union can't absorb Turkey, then we are also looking for the strongest possible alternative bond.

There is a lot of skepticism.

I would find it grotesque if we begin negotiations with Turkey and leave Croatia out the door to starve, ... It's important that the voice of Germany is heard more clearly here.
