H. ker se s salzburško deklaracijo EU in Zahodnega Balkana z dne 11. marca 2006, ki so jo soglasno sprejeli vsi zunanji ministri Evropske unije in zunanji ministri držav Zahodnega Balkana, ponovno potrjuje pomen dobrih sosedskih odnosov ter potreba po vzajemno sprejemljivih rešitvah za odprta vprašanja s sosednjimi državami,

5. poudarja, da je ohridski okvirni sporazum državo preoblikoval, saj je v njem v celoti upoštevana njena večetničnost in večkulturnost, to pa je bistveni del političnih meril za članstvo v EU; poudarja, da bo spoštovanje črke in duha tega sporazuma odločilno za prizadevanje Makedonije za pristop k EU; ponovno poudarja, da je treba Badinterjevo načelo v celoti spoštovati in da morajo vse strani spoštovati demokratične institucije in delovati v njihovem okviru, saj jih je država le s težavo vzpostavila;
Emphasises that the Ohrid Framework Agreement has transformed the country by taking full account of its multi-ethnic and multicultural character, thus representing a core part of the political criteria for EU membership; points out that respecting the letter and spirit of the Agreement will remain crucial for the country's European journey towards accession to the EU; stresses once more that the Badinter principle must be fully respected and that all parties need to respect and work within the democratic institutions which the country has made such efforts to set up;
7. obžaluje bojkot parlamenta in poudarja, da tako ravnanje ni združljivo z delujočimi parlamentarnimi institucijami, ki se jih pričakuje v vseh državah kandidatkah ali državah, ki si želijo vstopiti v EU;
Regrets the practice of boycotting the Parliament and points out that such practices are incompatible with functioning parliamentary institutions, which all candidate countries or those aspiring to join the EU are expected to have;
9. priporoča, da bi se morala država zgledovati po najboljših evropskih praksah na področju sistemov javne uprave in izobraževalnega, ki upoštevajo etnične in jezikovne razlike; poziva k nadaljnjemu dogovarjanju glede načina, kako lahko dve največji etnični skupnosti in različne manjšine živijo druga z drugo na temelju enakosti in složnosti; s tem v zvezi poziva k učinkovitem izvajanju ustavnih določb, ki zagotavljajo pravično zastopanost skupnosti, ki niso večinske, v javni upravi;

11. opozarja, da je v Evropi veliko držav, ki nosijo isto ime kot deli ozemelj v sosednjih državah, ter da vsaka država svobodno izbere svoje ime; odobrava dejstvo, da je Nekdanja jugoslovanska republika Makedonija spremenila svojo zastavo in sprejela ustavne spremembe, s katerimi je potrdila, da nima ozemeljskih zahtev do sosednjih držav; obžaluje nedavno spremembo imena nacionalnega letališča v „Aleksander Veliki“;
Points out that there are a number of countries in Europe whose name coincides with that of part of the territory of a neighbouring state, and that each state chooses its name in freedom; welcomes the fact that the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has changed its national flag and has made constitutional amendments to confirm the absence of territorial claims against neighbouring countries; regrets the recent name change of the national airport to ‘Alexander the Great’;
16. poleg tega ugotavlja, da se je po sklenitvi začasnega sporazuma iz leta 1995 obseg gospodarskih odnosov med državama izrazito povečal, tako da je zdaj Grčija največji tuji vlagatelj v Nekdanji jugoslovanski republiki Makedoniji, precej pa se je povečala tudi trgovina med državama;
Notes, furthermore, that, since the conclusion of the Interim Accord of 1995, the scope of economic relations between the two countries has significantly increased, inasmuch as Greece constitutes the largest foreign investor in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, while their trade relations have also been considerably boosted;
18. opozarja, da je zaželeno sprejetje ukrepov za olajšanje prometa na meji s Kosovom, s čimer se bo okrepilo sodelovanje na področjih izobraževanja, kulture in zaposlovanja, pa tudi ohranjanje družinskih vezi;
Draws attention to the desirability of adopting measures to facilitate easy frontier traffic with Kosovo, thus enhancing cooperation in the areas of education, culture and employment, as well as maintaining family ties;
22. nujno poziva k izboljšanju in vzdrževanju kakovosti vode in vodostaja v Ohridskem jezeru, Prespanskem jezeru in Dojranskem jezeru, ki so obmejna jezera, ter k učinkovitim dogovorom s sosednjima državama Albanijo in Grčijo v zvezi s tem;
Calls urgently for improvement and maintenance of the water quality and water level in the frontier lakes of Ohridsko Ezero, Prespansko Ezero and Dojransko Ezero, and for effective agreements on this aspect with the neighbouring countries of Albania and Greece;

Takes it for granted that the authorisation of foreign banks should be founded on equal criteria for all, such as compliance with legal requirements in the area of foreign currency dealings, taxation and consumer protection, and rejects the favouring of certain companies or of the countries in which they have their registered office;
30. ponovno poudarja, da se od oblasti pričakuje, da bodo preiskale okoliščine, v katerih je bil leta 2003 ugrabljen in prepeljan v Afganistan nemški državljan Khaled el Masri, ter da bodo objavile izsledke preiskave; poziva nacionalni parlament, naj čim prej ustanovi preiskovalni odbor, ki se bo ukvarjal s to zadevo, in naj v celoti sodeluje s preiskavo nemškega parlamenta, da se ugotovi resnica;
Points out again that the authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances in which a German citizen, Khaled El-Masri, was abducted to Afghanistan in 2003 and to make public the results of the investigation; urges the national parliament to set up a committee of inquiry as soon as possible to deal with this case and to cooperate fully with the ongoing inquiry of the German Parliament in order to ascertain the truth;
32. spodbuja Nekdanjo jugoslovansko republiko Makedonijo, naj v procesu pridruževanja EU koristno uporabi izkušnje Slovenije in Hrvaške, saj sta obe državi podedovali iste zvezne zakone nekdanje Jugoslavije in sta z njo imeli enake praktične izkušnje;

Splošne značilnosti države
General features of the country
Povodje reke Vardar leži tik za zunanjo mejo Evropske unije, severno od njene države članice Grčije in zahodno od njene države članice Bolgarije.
Immediately beyond the European Union’s external frontier, to the north of its Member State of Greece and to the west of its Member State of Bulgaria, lies the catchment area of the River Vardar.
To področje je več stoletij, vse do leta 1912, spadalo pod otomanski imperij, njegovo največje mesto Skopje (turško Üsküb in albansko Shkup) je bilo v tistih časih glavno mesto „vilajeta Kosovo“ (višje upravne enote Kosovo), ki je vključeval tudi bližnje področje na severu, katerega prihodnji upravni status še ni znan.
This area was for centuries, until 1912, part of the Ottoman Empire, and its principal city of Skopje (in Turkish ‘Üsküb’, and in Albanian ‘Shkup’) was then the capital of the ‘wilayet’ (province) of Kosova, which also included the adjoining area to the north that is at present awaiting future administrative status.
Glede na izid balkanskih vojn je vardarsko porečje v obdobju 1912–1941 pripadalo Srbiji in v tem času prejelo status pokrajine Vardarske.
As a consequence of the outcome of the Balkan war, the Vardar’s catchment area belonged to Serbia in the period from 1912 to 1941, when it received the status of the province of Vardarska.
Po končanem obdobju fašistične okupacije, med katero je bila iz upravnih razlogov vzdolž etnične meje razdeljena med Albanijo in Bolgarijo, je v času od leta 1945 do 1991 uživala veliko mero avtonomije kot federativna republika z imenom Makedonija.
After a period of Fascist occupation, in which it was divided for administrative purposes between Albania and Bulgaria along ethnic frontiers, it enjoyed a large measure of autonomy in the period 1945-1991 as a part-republic with the name of Macedonia.
To ime je bilo že v 19. stoletju najbolj priljubljeno pri največji skupini prebivalstva, sovpada pa tudi z delom grške zgodovine in z imenom, s katerim se označujejo tri mejne pokrajine v severni Grčiji.
This name was taken from the designation favoured since the 19th century by the area’s largest population group, but also coincides with part of Greek history and the use of the name for three bordering provinces in northern Greece.
Že vse od njene neodvisnosti med njo in njeno južno sosedo Grčijo ni soglasja glede ustavnega imena Republika Makedonija.
There has been a difference of opinion with its southern neighbour Greece since independence on the constitutional name of ‘Republic of Macedonia’.
Kot del Jugoslavije pa vse do svoje neodvisnosti leta 1991 je Makedonija imela tesne stike z državami članicami tedanjih Evropskih skupnosti.
As a part of Yugoslavia it had close contacts with the Member States of the then European Communities until obtaining independence in 1991.
V Evropi je bil prehod prek državnih meja relativno lahek, saj še ni bilo današnjih zahtev po vizumih.
Cross-border movement within Europe was relatively easy in the absence of the visa requirement that exists today.
Makedonija je skupaj s Srbijo in Hrvaško igrala pomembno vlogo tranzitnega območja med državo članico EU Grčijo in državami, ki so to postale pozneje, Avstrijo, Madžarsko in Slovenijo.
Together with Serbia and Croatia it fulfilled an important role as a transit area between the EU Member State of Greece and what later became the EU Member States of Austria, Hungary and Slovenia, and more distant countries.
Javno mnenje v Makedoniji, ki je sicer deljeno glede uporabe jezika in političnih preferenc, je tudi zaradi dolgotrajnega tesnega stika z današnjim območjem EU skoraj v celoti naklonjeno čimprejšnjemu vstopu države v EU.
Partly as a result of these long-standing close contacts with the present EU area, domestic public opinion is, while divided over language use and political preferences, virtually unanimous in favouring early accession to the EU.
Res pa je, da je ta država v EU razmeroma nepoznana, še manj poznano pa je, da je po tem, ko je 22. marca 2004 zaprosila za članstvo v EU, 17. decembra 2005 pridobila status države kandidatke.
However, in the EU this country is relatively unknown, while it is even less well-known that after applying on 22 March 2004 it acquired the status of EU candidate country on 17 December 2005.
Precej bolj sta v zunanjem svetu odmevala notranji spor glede jezika in nesoglasja z Grčijo v zvezi z imenom države.
What is rather better known in the outside world is the domestic language dispute and the difference of opinion with Greece over the country’s name.
V procesu pridruževanja EU bo tema dvema temama najbrž namenjene vsaj toliko pozornosti kot običajnim vprašanjem na področju uprave, pravne države, kriminala, gospodarstva in okolja, ki so bila v središču pozornosti ob zadnjih dveh krogih širitve leta 2004 in 2007.
In the process of joining the EU these two subjects are likely to receive at least as much attention as the usual issues in the area of administration, the rule of law, crime, the economy and the environment, which were given the most attention during the major round of enlargement of 2004 and 2007.
Kulturna raznolikost
Cultural variety
Po obdobju grške in ilirske okupacije v oddaljeni preteklosti so prebivalstvo več sto let tvorili slovanski Makedonci, ki govorijo jezik, soroden bolgarščini in srbščini, ter prav tako uporabljajo cirilico.
After Greek and Illyrian occupation in the distant past the population has for many centuries consisted mainly of Slav Macedonians, with a language closely related to Bulgarian and Serbian and also written in Cyrillic script.
Na zahodu in severozahodu, zlasti na območju zgornjega toka reke Vardar v okolici mest Gostivar in Tetovo pa je jezik večinskega prebivalstva albanščina, ki se piše v latinici.
In the west and north-west, chiefly on the Vardar’s upper reaches around the cities of Gostivar and Tetovo, the language of the majority of the population is Albanian, with its Latin script.
Na ozemlju so tudi tradicionalno prisotne manjšine, in sicer Romi, Turki in Vlahi na eni strani ter druge slovanske skupine, ki so v sorodu z Makedonci, na primer Srbi in Bošnjaki, na drugi strani.
There have also long-standing distributions of minorities, with Roma, Turks and Vlachs on the one hand and other Slav groups related to Macedonians, such as Serbs and Bosnians, on the other.
Zaradi tega je bila za to področje vseskozi značilna jezikovna in kulturna različnost.
As a result linguistic and cultural variety has long been a feature of this area.
Ta raznolikost se zrcali tudi v odnosih med političnimi strankami.
That variety also finds expression in party-political relations.
Dolgotrajno pomanjkanje pravice do samoodločbe je močno okrepilo nacionalizem makedonske skupine prebivalstva.
The long absence of self-determination greatly strengthened the nationalism of the Macedonian population group over a long period of time.
Ta nacionalizem se je najprej uprl turški oblasti, kasneje zvezi z Bolgarijo, ki jo je predvideval sanstefanski mirovni sporazum iz leta 1878, končno pa tudi dolgotrajni vključenosti v Srbijo.
Initially that nationalism turned against Turkish rule, then against the association with Bulgaria laid down in the peace treaty of San Stefano in 1878 and after that against the long period of incorporation with Serbia.
Zaradi uporabe simbolov iz grško-makedonske zgodovine, se je Makedonija znašla tudi v sporu z Grčijo.
By using symbols borrowed from Greek-Macedonian history it also came into conflict with Greece.
Nemakedonske skupine prebivalstva, zlasti številna albansko govoreča skupina, so ta nacionalizem razumele kot grožnjo za njihov jezik in kulturo.
Moreover this nationalism was seen by non-Macedonian population groups, especially the large Albanian-speaking group, as a threat to their language and culture.
Še zlasti je to veljalo za stališče, da treba oblikovati enojezično državo, v kateri bi se morale ostale skupine prebivalstva prilagoditi uporabi slovanskega makedonskega jezika kot edinega jezika na področju uprave in izobraževanja.
This applied particularly to the view that a monolingual state should be created, in which others would have to adapt to the use of the Slavic Macedonian language as the only language of government and education.
Jezikovna ureditev za Albance in druge skupine prebivalstva
Language facilities for Albanians and others
Do leta 1912 so vsi govorci albanskega jezika živeli na območju, ki si ga trenutno delijo Albanija in štiri različne regije nekdanje Jugoslavije (zahod in severozahod Makedonije, jugozahod Srbije, večji del Kosova, ki od leta 1999 ni več pod srbsko upravo, ter jug Črne Gore), vsem skupaj pa je vladal Carigrad, saj so spadali pod otomanski (turški) imperij.
Until 1912 all users of the Albanian language lived in areas that are now spread over Albania and four different regions of the former Yugoslavia (the west and north-west of Macedonia, the south-west of Serbia, most of Kosovo, which since 1999 has ceased to be administered by Serbia, and the south of Montenegro) were all governed from Istanbul s part of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire.
V obdobju 1918-1991 so ta območja z izjemo Albanije ostala združena v okviru Jugoslavije.
In the period 1918-1991 these areas remained, with the exception of Albania, united within Yugoslavia.
Rezultat tega so bili dolgotrajni tesni stiki med dvema regijama z največjo koncentracijo albansko govorečih prebivalcev, to je med Kosovom in regijo ob zgornjem toku reke Vardar.
As a result there have long been close contacts between the two largest concentrations of Albanian-speakers, Kosovo and the region on the upper reaches of the Vardar.
Ker v slednji uradno ni bilo možno izobraževanje na višji stopnji v albanskem jeziku, so študenti v obdobju 1999-2001 raje odhajali študirat na Kosovo, kar je te stike še okrepilo.
The absence in the latter area of official Albanian-language higher education encouraged students to seek education in Kosovo in the period 1999-2001, further strengthening such contacts.
Leta 2001 se je ob priliki nasilnih dogodkov izkazalo, da se po preteku desetih letih od pridobitve neodvisnosti med prebivalci, ki govorijo makedonsko in tistimi, ki govorijo albansko, še vedno niso oblikovali dobri odnosi.
In 2001 it became clear, in a violent manner, that good relations between users of the Macedonian language and those of the Albanian language had still not been achieved in the ten years since independence.
Problem so rešili tudi po zaslugi posredovanja in podpore Evropskega parlamenta z ohridskim okvirnim sporazumom.
Partly as a result of mediation and support by the European Union, a solution was found in the shape of the Ohrid Framework Agreement.
Poleg prenehanja sovražnosti in prostovoljne razorožitve so bile v dogovoru zajete še naslednje točke:
In addition to the cessation of hostilities and voluntary disarmament the following points were settled:
Reorganizacija lokalnih organov in povečanje pristojnosti lokalne uprave.
Local authority reorganisation, with more powers for local government.
Nediskriminacija in proporcionalna zastopanost manjšin v javni upravi in politiki.
Non-discrimination and proportional representation of minorities in public administration and politics.
Sprememba parlamentarnih postopkov, zaradi katere je pri glasovanju o občutljivih vprašanjih (kot so pravice manjšin, lokalna samouprava in nekatera imenovanja) potrebna „dvojna večina“.
Parliamentary procedures are changed so that votes on sensitive issues (such as minority rights, local self-administration and some appointments) require a ‘double majority’.
(To je tako imenovana Badinterjeva večina , ki v bistvu pomeni, da ni dovolj večina v parlamentu, ampak je potrebna tudi večina med predstavniki manjšin.)
(This Badinter majority essentially means that there must be a majority not just in parliament, but also among the representatives of minorities.)
Enak status jezikov na področju uprave in izobraževanja.
Equal status of languages in government and education.
Vsak jezik, ki ga govori najmanj 20 % prebivalstva, je uradni jezik, in država financira univerzitetno izobraževanje v teh jezikih.
Any language spoken by at least 20 per cent of the population is an official language and the state will finance university education in those languages.
Različnost identitete, zaradi katere lokalni organi lahko postavijo simbole večinskega dela prebivalstva na javne zgradbe.
Diversity in identity, with local authorities being free to place symbols of the majority segment of the population on public buildings.
Končni izid okvirnega sporazuma je bilo skupaj 15 predlogov spremembe ustave in nova ustavna preambula.
The Framework Agreement resulted in a total of 15 amendments to the Constitution and to a new Constitutional Preamble.
Do leta 2006 je tekel kontinuirani proces zakonodajnega prilagajanja ohridskemu okvirnemu sporazumu in usklajevanja.
Up to 2006 there was a continual process of legislative adjustment to the Ohrid Framework Agreement and increasing harmony.
Po letošnjih volitvah in sestavi vlade, ko je največja stranka albansko govorečega prebivalstva zapustila vlado, je prišlo do resnejšega prerekanja glede uporabe Badinterjeve večine.
Since the elections and the forming of the government this year, in which the largest party of the Albanian-speaking population group left the government, major arguments have arisen on the application of the Batiner majority.
Po bojkotu parlamentarne dejavnosti, ki sta ga izvedli stranki Demokratična unija za integracijo (DUI) in Stranka demokratične blaginje (PDP) trenutno potekajo pogovori, da bi se dosegla pomiritev.
Following a boycott of parliamentary activities by the BDI (DUI) and PDP parties, talks are now taking place to reach a settlement.
Ime države in odnos Grčije
The country’s name and the attitude of Greece
Sobranje (parlament) Nekdanje jugoslovanske republike Makedonije je 17. novembra 1991 sprejelo novo ustavo, ki državo opredeljuje kot suvereno državo z imenom Republika Makedonija.
The Sobranie, the parliament of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, adopted the new Constitution on 17 November 1991, in which the country was defined as a sovereign state using the name ‘Republic of Macedonia’.
Čeprav bi po Badinterjevih merilih vse nekdanje jugoslovanske republike lahko pridobile mednarodno priznanje kot neodvisne države, nova država vse do 8. aprila 1993 ni bila sprejeta v Organizacijo združenih narodov.
Although under the Badinter criteria all the former Yugoslav republics would be able to obtain international recognition as independent states, the new country was not admitted to the United Nations until 8 April 1993.
Razloge za nasprotovanje njenemu članstvu gre iskati predvsem v pomenu imena Makedonija, ki ga zgodovina pozna kot državo Aleksandra Velikega (356-323 pred našim štetjem), katerega imperij je kratek čas segal vse do Pakistana.
The reasons why its membership was opposed lie mainly in the meaning of the name ‘Macedonia’, which historically is known as the country of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) who managed for a short time to extend his empire as far as Pakistan.
Grčija, južna soseda Makedonije, zaradi jezika in kulture tistega časa gleda na antično Makedonijo kot na del svoje zgodovine in na ime Makedonija kot na nacionalno ime.
On the grounds of the language and culture of the time the southern neighbour, Greece, regards ancient Macedonia as part of its own history and the name Macedonia as an internal name.
