I think that it is time for the U.S. to realize that, by abandoning the Balkans to the European Union, we have failed.

Gruevski's attempt to be sure that there would be no reforms, that there would be no new government, because he knows how high his crimes are.
It is not going to work, Mr. Chairman. Let me tell you why. You have got such political corruption now in Albania, in Macedonia, in Kosovo, in Serbia.
The problem we have got in Macedonia is so simple, it is black and white. Macedonia is an apartheid state in the middle of Europe.
Regarding Kosovo, if the EU is serious about integration, there must be a much more aggressive approach taken for the recognition of Kosovo by all EU countries including Serbia.
There is racism by the Slavic Macedonians and Slavic Serbs. There is actual racism against the Albanian people today.
But there is a big difference in the self-determination that the Kosovars wanted and the Serbs want.
