At the meeting of the Committee on Stabilization and Association in Brussels, the European Commission referred to the Macedonian language as “language of the majority.”  Only a week after avoiding the adjective “Macedonian” when referring to the language in the annual report on the country’s progress, the European Commission has turned again the naming of our language into a problem, Dnevnik reports.

Moreover, Christian Hedberg, Head of Unit for Macedonia at the Directorate for Enlargement of the European Commission, chairing the meeting, referred to the Macedonian government officials as “the Skopian delegation.” The meeting was attended by representatives of the EU member states, including Greece. The Committee is a forum at which Macedonia’s achievements are discussed and guidelines are set for future reforms.

Despite the harsh letters and reactions from Macedonia to the fact that Brussels avoided using the adjective “Macedonian” in its report, the European Commission showed again Wednesday it has a problem naming our language. This time round, it happened at the regular meeting of the Committee on Stabilization and Association, when the minutes of a previously held meeting were supposed to be passed.
