"I am pleased by today's talks, where all participants expressed readiness to work for the interests of the Macedonian citizens," President Boris Trajkovski said after today's meeting with the leaders of VMRO-DPMNE - Ljubco Georgievski, SDSM - Branko Crvenkovski and DPA - Arben Xhaferi, PDP representative Azis Polozani and EU High Representative of Joint Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana.
The Macedonian President said that a document with conclusions has been coordinated, which was accepted by all participants.
He said that a joint statement in which the leaders of the political parties support the results from today's meeting would be presented at tomorrow's ministerial meeting of NATO, EU and Euro Atlantic Partnership Council in Budapest.
"During this week, I will schedule the meeting with the political parties' leaders, by which the political dialogue will continue," Trajkovski said.
At the end, President Trajkovski expressed gratitude to all participants at today's meeting, and hailed their constructive attitude in the talks.
Leaders of VMRO-DPPMNE, SDSM, DPA and PDP, at a meeting with the President of the Republic of Macedonia, have discussed the current security and political situation in Macedonia.
They all have agreed that the future of the Republic of Macedonia can only be decided by democratically elected representatives, working through a peaceful political process. They have underlined their commitment to pursue and intensify effort to restore peace and security and to achieve early progress in the political dialogue within the institutions.
President Trajkovski will call a meeting of party leaders this week.
They insist that the violent actions in pursuit of political aims are totally unacceptable and illegitimate means that all democratic parties in the Republic of Macedonia reject.
Taking into account the negative conclusions of the international community on the Prizren Document of 22 May 2001, the status of the document in question is no longer relevant. The intensified political dialogue can and will proceed and produce significant results to the benefit of all the communities in the country. All of the representatives support the political dialogue within the Parliament and the enhanced meetings of party leaders as the only form of solving open issues.
They reaffirm support for the coalition government of state unity to overcome the crisis, normalize the situation and realize the reform process for Euro-Atlantic integration as soon as possible.
They commit themselves to accelerate legislative work on measures agreed before recent developments, and to achieve substantial progress on President Trajkovski's agenda for addressing inter-ethnic issues, endorsed by all coalition partners, by June 15.
