"As soon as the EU accession process starts and a positive reply [to Macedonia's application for candidacy] is received, it is normal to decrease the presence of crisis management instruments such as myself, Proxima or the EU monitoring mission," the Union's Special Representative for Macedonia, Michael Sallin, told local television.
"Čim bude pokrenut proces EU akcesije i zaprimljen pozitivan odgovor [na prijavu Makedonije za zemlju kandidata], normalno je da se reducira prisutnost instrumenata za upravljanje kriznim situacijama poput mene, Proxime ili promatračke misije EU", izjavio je za lokalnu televiziju Michael Sallin, Posebni predstavnik Unije za Makedoniju.
