lpv:translated text	". I have noticed that recent events have initially borne out what I predicted on 15 March and 3 May. I would invite you to read up on the Minutes. At the time, I stated that granting premature support to the Macedonian government, proclaiming desperate Albanians as extremists and distributing funds would not lead to answers, peace and reconciliation, but would fan the flames of violence. A proportion of the Macedonian population and of the Macedonian government dreamed of a Macedonia without Albanians, or only with completely unrecognisable and adapted residents of Albanian origin. That proportion wanted to buy arms with EU subsidies intended for peace. Hopefully, the change in the Constitution will put an end to the idea that within the borders of that country, there is only room for one language and one nation, and that all problems would be solved if the large Albanian minority were ignored, or even driven away. If, in future, the roles were reversed because the Albanians had become the largest nation, they will hopefully sympathise more with the ambitions of the Macedonian minority than is now the case in respect of the Albanians. If future aid is now employed for peace, reconciliation and reconstruction, then I can fully support the initiative."@en1
