"The state is a guarantee of the survival of the Macedonian people on their remaining piece of land to be able to freely develop, complete with their own language and national-cultural identity as Macedonians," said Blazhe Ristovski, vice president of the country's first democratically elected government, in comments to SETimes.
„Država je garant opstanka makedonskog naroda ne delu teritorije koji mu je ostao, da bi mogao slobodno da se razvija, zajedno sa svojim jezikom i nacionalno-kulturnim identitetom kao Makedonaca“, izjavio je za SETimes Blaže Ristovski, potpredsednik prve demokratski izabrane vlade u zemlji.
