why didnt he get someone to correct his speech first? or did he just hav problems with pronouciation?
Believe me: this guy is working for the Commission of the European Community. He probably employs a bunch of people, who write the speeches for him. But politicans aren't the only kind of persons, who are unable to speak English (especially when their only competence is to own the "correct" membership book).

That's politicians' most common excuse But I somewhat agree with you. Though, they seem to be some of the worst English-speaking Croatians. If an average teenager can speak much better English than any of the politicians, then that's quite low-reputable for the politicians. I heard EU-ministers and other important people in Bruxelles often make fun of their English.
Have I mentioned "Take it ot leave it"?
NEW FAIL: News Reporter: "What are your plans in Bruxelles?" Our Politician: "Thank you very much."

Yeh and english is probably higher on the school ciriculum these days than it was 20 and 30 years ago, so teenagers would have a better understanding than alot of adults

Anyone else willing to show how well their politicians speak English?
I don't really understand why he should know English? It isn't an official language in Croatia i believe? The stupid about him is pretending to understand English, without actually understanding.

People who want to lead a country should probably have a decent handle of the lingua franca of the world.

On the paper it says he speaks at least 5 different languages. English included. And can't he learn to say "I don't speak English" or somthing like that?
