Put your hands together for the European anthem, Ode to Joy. 👏 In 1985, EU leaders adopted Beethoven's Ode to Joy theme as the official anthem of the European Union. In the universal language of music, this anthem expresses the European ideals of freedom, peace and solidarity. Tomorrow is Europe Day! Stay tuned for more musical celebrations. #EuropeDay Europska komisija u Hrvatskoj | European Commission
