"Država je jamac opstanka makedonskog naroda na njihovom preostalom komadu zemlje da se može slobodno razvijati, sa svojim vlastitim jezikom i nacionalno-kulturnim identitetom Makedonaca," izjavio je u komentarima za SETimes Blaže Ristovski, potpredsjednik prve demokratski izabrane vlade u zemlji.
"The state is a guarantee of the survival of the Macedonian people on their remaining piece of land to be able to freely develop, complete with their own language and national-cultural identity as Macedonians," said Blazhe Ristovski, vice president of the country's first democratically elected government, in comments to SETimes.
