"I voted in favour of this resolution, in recognition of the advances made by the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in becoming integrated with the European Union. Success has been achieved in different areas, for instance, reform of the judicial system, the training of judges and public prosecutors has been improved, the country’s indicators of economic activity are stable, the struggle against corruption and awareness thereof have improved, the integration of different minorities into society is bringing results, etc. Citizens’ subsistence is a concern, because a great number of people live in poverty and there is great social inequality, but the problem is being dealt with, and a strategy for combating poverty and social exclusion has been adopted. I also consider the weak supervision of law enforcement authorities to be a problem, in view of the use of violence by the police on the night of the elections. It is, however, true that police cooperation with the European Union in combating terrorism has been effective. I consider the prolonged failure to resolve the question of the name of Macedonia, as a result of which the country must bear the name of its former occupier, to be regrettable. As an Estonian, I would find it very humiliating if my homeland had to bear the title of ‘Former Republic of the Soviet Union’, for instance, in the interest of its neighbour’s ‘historical truth’ There is also a Province of Luxembourg in the Kingdom of Belgium, on the border with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, but the two countries nevertheless get along very well."@en1
