"Macedonia's Euro-Atlantic integration is of great importance for the Government and its citizens. Additionally, consistent observance of the 1995 Interim Agreement is also of great importance together with efforts made in finding a mutually acceptable solution to name differences. If a country from the region makes a breakthrough in its Euro-Atlantic integration, it will be of paramount significance for the stability, prosperity and progress of the region".

PM Gruevski elaborated that he was urged to send a letter to Samaras following speculation in several Greek media claiming that allegedly there was neither invitation nor an attempt for a meeting with the party leader in the course of the 20th EPP congress in Marseilles.

"Therefore, I take this opportunity to express my feeling that perhaps it is a mistake or blunder by the journalist who reported this false information in Greek media and to reiterate once again my interest for organizing a joint meeting. On that account, I would like with this letter to invite you to a meeting, which is to be organized as soon as possible at a time and place most suitable for you in a bid to enhance the dialogue between the two countries. I believe it is the right way to make efforts in resuming dialogue involving substantial issues of mutual interest and to contribute to our aspirations for joint prosperity in building mutual trust and understanding," said Gruevski voicing his hopes for better future and sincere cooperation.

At the end of the letter, Gruevski once again stressed that it was being left to Samaras to set a date and location for a meeting.
