Barroso added that the EU was closely following the debate on secularism but was not in a position to intervene in the debate that recently led to the lifting of a ban on women wearing headscarves.
Barozo je dodao da EU pažljivo prati debatu o sekularizmu, ali nije u poziciji da interveniše u toj debati, koja je nedavno dovela do ukidanja zabrane ženama za nošenje marama.
