We have much in common with the applicant nations in terms of heritage and culture. I have visited many of those countries, including Slovakia and Slovenia, where the people are very nice and sincere. Will the EU development projects move towards those nations and will we become further isolated within the enlarged Union? If the local elections did not coincide with the European elections, the turnout would be less than 40% in European elections and this would send the wrong message to our colleague nations in the EU. We are propping up the turnout at the European elections by calling the local elections at the same time.
