The European Commission released its report on the progress of Macedonia on Wednesday. In this report, the EC praises the police and judicial reforms in the country, but it criticizes the poorly organized parliamentary elections. EU Commissioner for Enlargement Olli Rehn stressed once again yesterday that the name issue is not a criterion for membership in the EU, but he urged that the dispute be resolved in the spirit of good neighborly relations. EU Ambassador to Macedonia Erwan Fouere presented EC’s report to Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski, who assessed it as realistic.
