At their 42nd international conference in Bled, writers from 21 countries adopted a declaration confirming Macedonia’s right to use its constitutional name. The writers also sent letters to the President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy, the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, and the President and Prime Minister of Greece, Karolos Papoulias and George Papandreou, in which it is said that the people have the right to call themselves and their country as they wish. This declaration will be published in the bulletin of the World Pen Center in London and will then be provided to all pen centers in the world.
