"After years of reform and painful internal changes, efforts by our neighbour have finally been recognised and the door has been opened to Serbia’s European prospects. Greece has been in favour of the enlargement of the EU to the Western Balkans, and Serbia in particular, from the outset. Today, unfortunately, the final text includes an amendment which refers to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) as ‘Macedonia’. We consider it unacceptable that an official text adopted by a European body should contain a name for a candidate country that is not internationally recognised. The New Democracy MEPs were therefore forced to vote against the final text, even though we agree with the contents of the report, which paves the way for Serbia to accede to Europe. Serbia belongs in the European family and the New Democracy MEPs are still ardent supporters of its prospects. A written protest has already been sent to the President of the European Parliament at the joint initiative of the head of the New Democracy and PASOK parliamentary groups, asking for Parliament’s reports and resolutions to be corrected automatically if they use unrecognised names for countries."@en1
