"I abstained from voting on the European Parliament resolution on the 2011 progress report on the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, even though the country was one of the first in the Western Balkans region to be granted candidate status, and even though many important reforms have been implemented in the country and it is also the country with the highest domestic public support for EU accession. The country has repeatedly emphasised the importance of integration with the EU and NATO, but the continuing dispute with Greece over the naming of the country and the Greek veto of the invitation for the country to join NATO are preventing it from effectively achieving European and transatlantic integration. I believe that both sides in the conflict must immediately begin to resolve current, protracted conflicts and step up their efforts to find a compromise and overcome barriers preventing this development."@en1
