For det andet mener jeg, at Grækenland som medlemsstat i EU må forstå de europæiske modeller for forsoning med historien og bestræbe sig fuldt ud på at sikre, at uoverensstemmelserne over navnet Makedonien ikke udgør en forhindring på landets vej mod Europa, da enhver anden holdning er i modstrid med Europas ånd og skæbne.
Secondly, I think that, as a Member State of the European Union, Greece must understand the European models for reconciling with history and make every effort to ensure that the dispute over the name of Macedonia does not present an obstacle to this country's progress towards Europe, because any other attitude is contrary to the spirit and destiny of Europe.
