SPASENOVSKI: SICENCE SHOULD GIVE AN ANSWER FOR THE ROLE OF THE PARTIES AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IN THE ERUROPEAN INTEGRATION OF MACEDONIA
On the occasion of the publishing of the political magazine "Political Thought", on 13 July 2010, a roundtable was organized by the local representative office of Konrad Adenauer, where the JPC Co-Chair Aleksandar Spasenovski took part.
Giving arguments to the theses presented in his article in the magazine in front of the present representatives of the scientific and academic public, ambassadors, members of NGO's, Spasenovski emphasized the statehood value of the project for membership of the Macedonian state in the EU. The JPC Co-Chair pointed to the need for further strengthening of the unity for a faster integration of EU on two levels: inter-political and inter-ethnic. In the context of today's challenges facing Macedonia, Mr. Aleksandar Spasenovski called the science to give an answer to the issues related to the current role of the parties, international community and the NGO sector in the European integration of Macedonia. Spasenovski, in his speech, stated among other things, that in this twenty year period since the independence, at least eight years the European integration of the Macedonian state has been blocked due to the name dispute. "I consider that one should take into consideration the role of the international community in Macedonia regarding the integration of the Macedonian state in the European family of nations. Whether one should say that the support has not been always to the principle and expressed to the very end to the relevant party that shapes, manages and has responsibility for the accomplishment of this civilization project?", asked Spasenovski.
At the end, the JPC Co-Chair expressed satisfaction from the role of the Assembly in the realization of the European priorities of the state through the relevant parliamentary bodies, as well as through realization of the parliamentary dimension of the international policy of the Republic of Macedonia.
