NULAND: CONTINUATION OF REFORMS TO RESULT IN NATO INVITATION AT BUCHAREST
SUMMIT
Macedonia has made significant progress, especially in the economic sector,
attraction of foreign investments, fight against corruption and organized
crime, but it should continue with the reform process, thus coming closer to
Euro-Atlantic integration and our joint goal - NATO membership invitation at
next year's Bucharest Summit, said U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Victoria Nuland
after Thursday's meeting with Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski.
"Time is short, but we are confident that Macedonia will succeed. When you
run a marathon, you cannot relax in the final two miles, but sprint to the
finish line", stressed Nuland, calling on the country's political leaders to
resolve open issues and establish a constructive dialogue.
According to her, progress in Macedonia is remarkable, and the country
represents a model of multi-ethnic democratic society in the region.
Nuland and Gruevski agreed there is serious progress in defense reforms,
Ohrid Agreement implementation, and decentralization.
Pertaining to the name dispute, Ambassador Nuland said that Macedonia and
Greece should go back to the negotiating table, because one of the criteria
for NATO accession is good neighborly relations.
Prime Minister Gruevski stressed that Macedonia would invest a lot to
overcome the name issue.
