"Mi smo na jednom dugom, uskom putu i moramo biti strpljivi," dodao je on, rekavši također da on nije znao da su aranžmani za proslave bili uređeni još prije nego što je Njemačka preuzela predsjedavanje nad EU.
"We are on a long, narrow road and we have to be patient," he added, saying also that he hadn't been aware that the arrangements for the festivities were made before Germany took over the EU presidency.
