Radmila Sekerinska, GMAP I 2006 and Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, said in Alpbach, Austria, on 30 August that her country hopes to join the EU by 2010 as a way of promoting regional stability, DPA reported (see "RFE/RL Balkan Report," 25 February, 17 June, and 1 July 2005). "We think that based on what we have achieved since our independence, we have qualified ourselves for negotiations for entry into the EU," she stressed. The minister also argued that the EU's "last enlargement round [in May 2004] brought those [10] countries democracy and economic development. We want more or less to use the same recipe for the Balkans." She added that "we hope that we will be a membership candidate by the end of this year. We will try to start the negotiations in spring 2006 and...finish our job in less than four years." Officials in Brussels have, however, cautioned Macedonia against being too optimistic about its prospects for membership, which is a top priority of the government.
