“Macedonia solved its ‘Albanian issue’”

Miloshoski also said that Macedonia would get an invitation for membership in NATO and that the negotiations with the European Union (EU) might begin in 2008.

"A country with no oil or gas reserves with 2 and not 200 million citizens surely has limited sovereignty. Macedonia wants to hand down part of that sovereignty to Brussels", Miloshoski said.

However, the foreign minister rejected the suggestions that membership in EU is the only way for Macedonia to survive in its existing borders, as, according to him, the country has reconfirmed its vitality over the past years. Miloshoski also reminded that in addition to EU, Macedonia enjoys strong backing by the United States of America as well.

When asked to explain why Macedonia's neutral position regarding Kosovo's independence has given way to Kosovo Albanians' efforts to gain an independent state, the minister said that Macedonia "is not supporting the Kosovo Albanians, but the international community."

As to the relations with officials in Belgrade, who dissaproved of Skopje's shifting position, Miloshoski said they remained steady and normal, mostly thanks to the personal friendly relations with Serbian President Boris Tadić and Vice-Prime Minister Božidar Đelić.
