"Like other republics of the former Yugoslavia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) is unstable and has a destabilising influence on the entire region. Firstly, the problem of negotiations with Greece on the country’s name remains; a process replete with nationalist rhetoric that is driving these 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 the peoples of both countries and only contributes to exacerbating the existing divisions. The majority in Parliament justifies its position with interest in FYROM joining NATO, a process that is inseparable from the militarisation of the EU and the enlargement of its spheres of influence into the strategic region of the Balkans. EU accession is a process of sovereign choice for every people, as is the right to economic and social development. All peoples have the right to make a free choice about EU accession, without any outside interference and following an open, informed and far-reaching debate based on reality and not on myths that are never realised, as in the Portuguese case."@en1
