- Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Ivica Bocevski reiterated at the meeting of the foreign policy committee of the European Parliament on Tuesday that Macedonia had changed its Constitution and flag and had accepted to join the UN under the reference of FYROM and raised the question of whether this was not enough for everybody to see what country made concessions and was willing to move ahead. He stressed that the term compromise meant reaching a fair and mutually acceptable solution that would not affect the country's identity. Macedonia sees the EU as a place where it would preserve its identity, he said.
