Dear Mrs. Foley,
I am very glad that you share our concern about the DruzbAdria project because this project has great impact on matters of environmental protection in Croatia.
I can assure you that I will not give approval to this project if the environmental impact assessment does not show that the project is acceptable for the environment.
We are very aware that any oil spill would be catastrophic for years to come for the whole region. It is my opinion that citizens of Croatia should decide about this project through a referendum.
Hoping that you will show the same interest for environmental questions in the future as well as nowadays,
