Sekerinska: Republic of Ilinden Macedonia - an excellent basis for solution


Our objective, to find a solution acceptable both for Macedonia and Greece, has been fulfilled with this proposed package, Radmila Sekerinska said Sunday.

"The foreign ministers have agreed on a package that was upheld by the two premiers in principle. The objective to find a solution positive both for Macedonia and Greece, we believe has been met with this draft-package. Yesterday, the Prime Minister clearly stated that we believe the package is offering a chance to close the process with all the parties as winners," the Macedonian Deputy PM and Defense Minister told reporters.

The Republic of Ilinden Macedonia, she stated, represents an excellent basis for a solution, because it contains a chronological qualifier, coincides with important historical dates and shows that Macedonia has never and will never foster any territorial claims.

"All elements in the solution correspond with the expectations and the demands of both Macedonia and Greece. They respond to our national and state interest and protect our identity. We will continue to seek a solution and to build friendship, because this time we believe that we are very close," stressed Sekerinska.
