Brussels officials say they are happy that the election day in Macedonia went without incidents and major problems and that now time has come to get down to work. This is in short the message that the EU is sending to our country hoping that a government would soon be formed and that it would embark on resolving the most pressing issues, such as the reforms and the name issue, Dnevnik reports.

EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule and EU High Representatives for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton issued a joint statement late on Monday in which it is obvious they felt relieved on hearing that the elections went without incidents, which the citizens should be credited with most.

Brussels also feared that the Albania scenario of refusing to accept the election results could have a rerun in Macedonia.
