"We are about to adopt a resolution here today which is awaited with much interest and much anticipation in many countries of south-eastern Europe.
This resolution speaks in terms very different from those used in south-eastern Europe only as recently as a few years ago. It is, in fact, these terms that have provided the impetus for, and a guide to, our debate today. I think it is important that what can be taken from the words of Mr Bildt, President-in-Office of the Council, and Commissioner Rehn, on the one hand, and from those of Mr Albertini, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs who has ensured that we can adopt such a rich and substantive resolution, on the other, is that we support the European prospects of all the countries concerned. Here, I would single out Turkey, in particular.
It is only when we offer the prospect of enlargement and inclusion to all the countries concerned that some issues in this region, such as trends pointing to further fragmentation of some of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, border issues and occasional incidents involving religious or similar intolerance, become somewhat less dangerous for the wider region.
We can therefore conclude that the project of bringing peace and progress to what was once a volatile part of Europe is set to continue."@en1
