„We have discussed everything that we have had as a challenge in the past so far. Everything we had to give up in the name of European values, but at the same time we confirmed that we do not accept ultimatums, that we are ready to talk as much as necessary to find a way to open the first cluster, to quickly go through the negotiation process and become a member state of the European Union. We remain committed to providing a better life for our citizens, and as part of this program it is our full inspiration to be part of the European family," Mickoski said in the address released by the government press office in Skopje.
