"As soon as the EU accession process starts and a positive reply [to Macedonia's application for candidacy] is received, it is normal to decrease the presence of crisis management instruments such as myself, Proxima or the EU monitoring mission," the Union's Special Representative for Macedonia, Michael Sallin, told local television.
“Čim započne proces pridruživanja i bude stigao pozitivan odgovor na molbu Makedonije za kandidaturu, normalno je da se smanji prisustvo instrumenata za upravljanje kriznim situacijama poput mene, Proksime ili posmatračke misije EU”, izjavio je na makedonskoj televiziji Majkl Salin, specijalni predstavnik Unije u Makedoniji.
