Croatian quiz before the holidays…

WelcomeCroatia(BRUSSELS2) The "Welcome Croatia", the latest communication film from the European Commission developed to celebrate the entry of the 28th Member State into the European Union, was shown to us at the press briefing on Monday. Surprising! I let you discover this masterpiece Its little taste of propaganda, 1970s, would make it almost likeable, like those good old Brezhnev archival films that you discover throughout a historical documentary and which leave you a bit nostalgic. José-Manuel Barroso, who ends in apotheosis, but returns with insistence implicitly throughout the film, is touching that he would become sympathetic.The other advantage of this film is that it allows you to do little quizzes. Before the holidays, it's not useless 🙂

De Gucht thus manages the feat of fitting in the 3 languages ​​in record time... If you get 10 out of 26, that's already not bad. NB: We did the test with a few colleagues, with 2 or 3 colleagues. The result of the test is — how to say — "confidential". 🙂

2nd exercise: mute the sound, and the exercise becomes... a little more difficult.

3rd exercise: find the missing one. For once, I won't actually blame him. A clue ? " She was supposed to be traveling at the time, I believe. She travels often said the chief spokesperson, a little embarrassed, to a question from my colleague from Agence Europe.
