Macedonian Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki stressed at the Tuesday summit in Brussels dedicated to the Balkans that Macedonia was resolved to meet the tasks required for joining the EU. However, as a small country Macedonia is worried that additional unprincipled conditions and obstacles which are not at all part of the Copenhagen criteria may also be set. "The EU should respect the principles it sets and evaluate the progress of the candidate countries on that basis. An EU member state abuses a bilateral name issue, puts pressure on Macedonia to renounce its right to national self-determination and blocks its European integration," he said.
