"Experience teaches us that the first precondition for accomplishing economic development is creation of an operational market economy," said Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski, who co-sponsored the summit together with EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn. "I am free to state that the countries in our region have already made strides on the way to becoming modern market economies."
“Iskustvo nas uči da je prvi preduslov za ekonomski razvoj stvaranje funkcionalne tržišne ekonomije”, rekao je makedonski predsednik Branko Crvenkovski, koji je bio sponzor samita zajedno sa evropskim komesarom za proširenje Olijem Renom. “Slobodan sam da izjavim da su zemlje našeg regiona već postigle napredak na putu da postanu moderne tržišne ekonomije.”
