"Macedonian national conscience and from that conscientious promotion of Macedonian as a written language, first appears just in the beginning of our century and is strengthened particularly during in the years between the two world wars."

"Macedonian is Bulgarian typed on a Serbian type-writer."

"Macedonian is similar to Bulgarian and is sometimes been regarded as a variety of that language."

"From a strictly linguistic point of view Macedonian can be called a Bulgarian dialect, as structurally it is most similar to Bulgarian."

"The ethnic Macedonians and the Macedonian language are a result of a Comintern conspiracy."

"The [Macedonian] people are civilised, friendly and highly educated. Even my tour guide had an MBA."

"Today over Macedonia, is being born the new sun of liberty. The Macedonians fight for their own rights! The Macedonians fight for their own rights!"

"[T]he country - and I am determined to call it Macedonia - has a perfect right to exist. The population is overwhelmingly Macedonian, with a distinctive language, culture and history. It is poorer than some of the other old Yugoslav republics, but considerably richer than Albania. The people are civilised, friendly and highly educated. Even my tour guide had an MBA... From now on I will call our esteemed EU partner "the former Ottoman possession of Greece"."

"[T]he Republic of Macedonia is strongly determined to continue to build friendly and good-neighborly relations."

"Macedonia has succeeded over the last 16 years to build a state architecture of equal opportunities. Every single citizen can be engaged in politics, in culture, the economy, in education, in media, and there are schools for everyone in their mother tongue, news for everyone in their mother tongue, politics for everyone in their mother tongue—sometimes too much."

"It is very important to send a new signal of confidence and hope that this (Montenegro, Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo) accession (into the European Union) process is wanted by the EU (European Union) with great seriousness, and that it also has a realistic chance if everyone makes an effort."
