Παραθέτουμε βίντεο από το χθεσινό briefing του State Department της "φίλης" Χίλαρι Κλίντον.
Δείτε τι απαντά η εκπρόσωπος τύπος Victoria Nuland, σε κείμενο και βίντεο, για το Συμβούλιο Γενικών Υποθέσων το οποίο αρνήθηκε ημερομηνία έναρξης ενταξιακών διαπραγματεύσεων στη FYROM:
QUESTION: The European Council yesterday, they were discussing enlargement for the Balkan countries. And for the fourth time in a row, they have failed to make a decision to open negotiations with Macedonia; there was Greek opposition on the issue. And of course, there’s a lot of disappointment in Macedonia. It was expected that this time it will be – some decision can be made.
And also for the first time, a new EU country, Bulgaria, has announced that it will also ask for some kind of concessions from Macedonia to open the EU negotiations. They have not made clear what they want, but it will likely be some kind of a nationalist issue, such as a view of history or a view of ethnic identity.
So please, your comments on this, on negotiations on Bulgaria vetoing Macedonia.
MS. NULAND: Well certainly, the United States remains committed to assisting all those countries who have European aspirations, those who want to join the NATO alliance, those who want to join the European Union. And obviously, we’re not members of the European Union, so it’s up to the European Union to make decisions on membership.
With regard to the Macedonian situation specifically, we believe that Macedonia and its neighbors need to continue to search for a dignified, practical, and mutually acceptable solution to the current disputes as quickly as possible so that these doors can be opened.
