Ladies and gentlemen,
I will not speak about the name issue, since it is a well known issue. I would like to underline that after Bucharest the Republic of Macedonia intensively and in a pragmatic way further develops the cooperation with NATO. Also, the Republic of Macedonia is continuing the negotiations under the auspices of the UN for finding a compromised solution for the imposed dispute. I would like to remind you that the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia has adopted several documents which oblige the Government to continue the negotiations, but at the same time emphasizing that the compromised solution must protect the national, linguistic and cultural identity of the Macedonian nation, and regarding this we have a general political consensus among the political parties, regardless of the ethic belonging and regardless if they belong to the governing or the opposition parties. At the same time, according to the latest opinion polls, over 82% of the citizens support the membership of the Republic of Macedonia in NATO. This clearly demonstrates that the political entities of the Republic of Macedonia and the civil society see that the future of the Republic of Macedonia and the whole region is in the Euro-Atlantic integration
