At the EU defence ministerial summit in Crete, which was attended by Solana and by NATO Secretary General George Robertson, officials concluded that Amber Fox should continue its presence in Macedonia through December because a European force would not be able to take over until next year.
Na evropkom odbrambenom savetu na Kritu, kojem su prisustvovali Solana i generalni sekretar NATO-a Džordž Robertson, zaključeno je da bi prisustvo Ćilibarske lisice u Makedoniji trebalo da se nastavi do kraja decembra, jer evropske snage ne bi mogle da je preuzmu do sledeće godine.
