"As in other republics of the former Yugoslavia, the situation in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) is unstable and has a destabilising influence on the surrounding region. Firstly, the problem of the name of the country remains, which has brought it into conflict with Greece in a process replete with nationalist rhetoric that is driving the two peoples apart, rather than bringing them closer together. The position of the majority of this Parliament, in wanting to bring forward the date for starting negotiations, disrespects the sovereignty of both countries and only contributes to exacerbating the existing divisions. The majority in Parliament justifies this position by pointing to the advantages of FYROM joining NATO, a process that is inseparable from the militarisation of the EU and the enlargement of its zones of influence in the strategic region of the Balkans. EU accession is a process of sovereign decisions for every people, as is the path to follow for economic and social development. Every people has the right to make a free decision about EU accession, without interference and following an open, informed and far-reaching debate based on reality and not on fantasies that never materialise."@en1
