My general feeling of the debate is that there are real efforts to put some of the bitterness that has come along over the last weeks behind us. |
My personal assessment is that direct contacts are positive development if it leads to increased dialogue, something that I view positively. |
Our goal is the western Balkans' membership of the EU. Stability in the Balkans is part of our own security. |
That this type of completely unacceptable remarks are continually being repeated does not mean we should accept them in silence. |
This would be a positive signal of building confidence, and this is what we need at the beginning of these delicate negotiations. |
We are confident that Ukraine is engaged on an irreversible, European path and we support this path. |
We will leave nothing untried to protect the basic rights of Abdul Rahman and save his life. |
