I am ready to accept all accusations, allegations, anger - but I have to succeed.
Never underestimate or mock peace.
The alternative to peace is war, which will expose everyone to mass casualties, misery and a loss of perspective for many years to come.
I understand the protests, but not the shooting and the attempts to bring down the state. We cannot allow hatred to control our lives. We must remain unified to defeat this evil.
The Republic of Macedonia is being built on democratic ideals and values, not on ethnic groups. Those ideals and values include economic opportunities, language and educational opportunities, religious rights, and political processes.
