Government

PM
(GMT+01:00)) (MIA) -
Javier
Solana,
EU
High
Representative
for
Common
Foreign
and
Security
Policy
For
me
it
is
not
only
a
tragedy
for
your
country
and
the
families
of
the
dead
persons,
but
is
my
personal
loss
too.
I
lost
a
close
friend.
I
was
a
good
friend
with
the
President,
your
country,
so
in
these
moments
I
feel
sorrow
with
all
of
you.
In
these
tragic
moments
of
sorrow
everyone
need
friends.
I
convince
you
that
you
have
friends
all
over
the
world,
especially
in
the
European
Union.
The
citizens
of
the
Republic
of
Macedonia
may
be
sure
that
EU
will
be
with
them
and
will
help
them
in
the
coming
period.
These
are
moments
when
the
country
should
demonstrate
unity
and
responsibility
to
continue
to
follow
the
determined
course
to
join
EU.
I
told
to
PM
Crvenkovski
and
President
of
the
Parliament
Ljupco
Jordanovski
that
now
they
can
count
on
EU
support.
On
behalf
of
the
EU,
I
recommend
the
citizens
that
this
is
a
moment
when
they
should
demonstrate
unity
and
responsibility,
and
to
work
with
more
efforts
to
achieve
the
goals.
I
do
not
doubt
that
your
country
will
demonstrate
its
deep
conscience.
Branko
Crvenkovski,
Prime
Minister
of
the
Republic
of
Macedonia:
Today's
visit
of
EU
High
Representative
for
Common
Foreign
and
Security
Policy
Javier
Solana
is
a
gesture
of
friendship
and
support
to
our
country
and
citizens.
It
is
his
personal
approach,
but
also
an
approach
of
EU
in
general.
We
informed
Solana
about
the
present
situation
of
the
country
and
our
strong
conviction
that
in
such
circumstances
the
state
institutions
function
normally,
while
Macedonia
will
continue
to
follow
the
determined
general
course
without
any
hesitation
or
wasting
time.
Ljupco
Jordanovski,
Macedonian
Parliament
Speaker:
In
accordance
with
the
Constitution,
I
will
perform
the
duties
of
two
functions,
Parliament
Speaker
and
President,
so
I
will
try
to
give
the
maximum.
I
informed
Solana
that
I
would
perform
both
functions
with
full
capacity.
All
political
parties
have
high
conscience
to
overcome
this
tragic
moment.
