"Mr President, we need to be particularly honest and accept that the enlargement strategy is not the reason for the current institutional crisis in the European Union. However, as a strategic objective, enlargement can be the scapegoat for collective European impasses and that, in my opinion, should be avoided. Within this framework, the message sent by the Austrian Presidency and the meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Salzburg on the final objective of the integration of the countries of the Western Balkans into the European Union is indeed especially important. We are saying yes to the integration of the countries and no to special relationships. From this side, the Commission should speed up the submission of its proposal for the granting of entry visas to the citizens of the Balkan countries. The question is deeply political, not bureaucratic. The doublespeak in the European Union on Kosovo is causing concern. The absence of a joint EU policy will have negative consequences. Finally, as far as Cyprus is concerned, I believe that the time has come for political initiatives to be taken to create necessary political and social osmosis at the level of civil society between the Greek Cypriots and the Turkish Cypriots. The role of catalyst belongs to the European Union."@en1
