KACIN: MACEDONIA IN EU AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE
Slovenian Member of European Parliament (MEP) and Group of the Alliance of
Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) Rapporteur for Macedonia, Jelko
Kacin said Wednesday before the EP Foreign Affairs Committee it is important
that Macedonia's EU accession talks start as soon as possible, along with
determination of a date.
"I hope that Macedonian will soon become EU's official language, under that
name, not a different one as certain neighboring countries would like to
use", said Kacin, adding that latest Macedonia-Greece name talks have not
resulted in a solution, but the statement of UN Envoy Matthew Nimetz on the
constructiveness of negotiations is encouraging.
"I would like chairman of the Foreign Ministers' Council, Dimitrij Rupel to
be as enthusiastic towards Macedonia as he is for Serbia. Even more, I would
like talks for annulment of visas for Serbian nationals to be preceded by
such talks for Macedonian citizens", stated Kacin, adding that the
Macedonian Government has done a lot in this field, along with the
introduction of biometric passports.
"I believe that Macedonia and its citizens deserve this", said MEP Kacin in
Brussels. |
