"Bagis explained to the commissioner that his words were intended to express his concern at the rising role of some extremist groups in the EU and ... that this could contribute to a potential lessening of tolerance towards minorities," Natasha Butler, Fuele's spokeswoman, told reporters Thursday.
„Bagis je objasnio komesaru da je cilj njegovih reči bio da izrazi svoju zabrinutost zbog sve veće uloge nekih ekstremističkih grupa u EU i... da bi to moglo da doprinese potencijalnom smanjenju tolerancije prema manjinama“, rekla je novinarima u četvrtak Nataša Batler, Fileova portparolka.
