"Mr President, in this House, we all support the European prospects of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. We – and especially the Greek MEPs – also want to resolve the long-standing issue of the name of this country.
These are two objectives which, by default, are closely linked, but which do not run in parallel, Commissioner. Do you believe that these two interlinked objectives will be achieved if we support the immediate start of accession negotiations between this country and the European Union tomorrow? I can assure you that they will bring about precisely the opposite: we will give the Gruevski government an incentive for even greater intransigence, thereby prolonging the impasse in negotiations on the name and, as a result, further freezing this country’s accession prospects.
If we adopt this report tomorrow, it will therefore be the wrong message, the wrong policy and the wrong move, which is why I shall be voting against the report tomorrow."@en1
