If I may, to underline first of all that I am very much impressed that in spite of the very tough election campaign, this transition period in the United States of America follows democratic principles and is all about the American people. It's about the destiny of the American people.

With political means and always trying to work for political settlements and this is what I'm going to continue to work on with all my heart.
