Η Μακεδονία έστειλε ένα σαφές μήνυμα ότι πασχίζει για μια "ισχυρή, πολυεθνική και δημοκρατική κοινωνία" η οποία θέλει να αφήσει πίσω το παρελθόν και να επικεντρωθεί στο μέλλον, είπε ο Ρόμπερτσον.
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said Sunday's vote signalled Macedonia's "clear commitment to peace and democracy" and was a step towards a "brighter future within Europe." NATO Secretary General George Robertson praised the country's "political maturity." Macedonia had sent out a clear message that it is striving for a "strong, multi-ethnic and democratic society" which wants to leave behind the past and focus on the future, Robertson said.
