"We absolutely must open a representation in the north of the island," the AFP quoted Verheugen as saying. "[But] co-operation with an authority which runs a territory does not mean diplomatic recognition."
"Mi apsolutno moramo otvoriti zastupstvo na sjevernom dijelu otoka" , izjavio je Verheugen, a prenosi AFP. "[Međutim] suradnja s vlastima koje upravljaju tim dijelom otoka ne znači diplomatsko priznanje".
