Speaking on the first anniversary of the agreement, EU representative Alain le Roy said "To the international community, 13 August is still a very important date, because it shows how Macedonian party leaders have been able to find a compromise which has been, I must say, very effective in this last year." He added, "If we compare the conflict in Macedonia to all the conflicts which happened in the Balkans you can see how mature the Macedonian parties were, to be able to find this compromise."
U svom govoru povodom prve godišnjice sporazuma, predstavnik EU, Alan Le Roj, je istakao: «Međunarodnoj zajednici je 13. avgust još uvek vrlo važan datum zato što pokazuje da su lideri makedonskih stranaka bili u stanju da postignu kompromis koji je, moram reći, bio veoma efektivan u ovoj protekloj godini». On je dodao: «Ako poredimo sukob u Makedoniji sa svim konfliktima koji su se dogodili na Balkanu, možemo uočiti koliko su zrele bile makedonske stranke u pogledu sposobnosti da postignu taj kompromis».
