lpv:spoken text	"Colleagues, on a very sad note, I have just learned that some minutes ago, President Boris Trajkovski of Macedonia – a special guest of our House some months ago – was killed with his staff in an accident as he travelled from Skopje to Mostar, where he was to meet our distinguished visitor of today, President Stjepan Mesic of Croatia. This news thus has particular significance for us today. President Trajkovski was a man known to me, first as a friend, personally and politically, for many years. He brought reconciliation in his own homeland, where there was such potential for division; he was a reconciler in his region, a true European, a warm-hearted man and a distinguished visitor to this House in the past. We are deeply saddened by his tragic loss. I should like to express our deepest sympathy to the government, the parliament and the people of Macedonia. We offer them an expression of our solidarity and determination that we will keep that man's vision of his country's European perspective alive. If we do that, we pay his memory the best tribute we could pay. I ask you please to stand in a moment of silence. ***"@en1
