LISBON, 17 September 2002 - The OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Portuguese Foreign Minister Antonio Martins da Cruz, has welcomed the generally peaceful environment in which the parliamentary elections were held in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on Sunday, 15 September.
"Through their strong participation, the citizens of the country have clearly demonstrated their commitment to peace and their confidence in democracy and reconciliation", he said.
"All those elected are now responsible for fulfilling the expectations of their citizens, by expeditiously putting into place legislative and executive authorities that will strive to bring the country closer and closer to both the European and Euro-Atlantic institutions and structures."
The OSCE will continue to support the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and its citizens in consolidating stability and democracy.
The Chairman-in-Office commended the work of the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the International Election Observation Mission and the OSCE Spillover Monitor Mission to Skopje. The joint and concerted efforts of the international community contributed to the holding of successful elections.
