"We don't want to be forced to choose between Europe and the United States, because what they have in common is much more than the temporary differences," Iliescu said in a lecture before the Bulgarian Atlantic Club, an NGO lobbying for NATO accession.
"Nu vrem sa fim fortati sa alegem intre Europa si Statele Unite, pentru ca ceea ce au in comun cele doua inseamna mult mai mult decat ceea ce le desparte temporar", a spus Iliescu in alocutiunea adresata Clubului Atlantic Bulgar, un ONG care sustine integrarea tarii in alianta nord-atlantica.
