Barroso added that the EU was closely following the debate on secularism but was not in a position to intervene in the debate that recently led to the lifting of a ban on women wearing headscarves.
Barroso je dodao kako EU pozorno prati raspravu o sekularizmu, ali nije u poziciji intervenirati u toj raspravi koja je nedavno dovela do ukidanja zabrane nošenja marama.
