If the constitutional process is not brought to a successful conclusion before the European elections, then the whole process might run out of steam.

Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union, it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.

Now is the time to show maximum responsibility. It is not the time to pay off old scores nor for sterile partisan recriminations. It is time to re-establish a climate of calmness and mutual respect.

It is a responsibility we perceive from the entire international community to protect the stability of the single currency as well as the European frame work.

If the constitutional process is not brought to a successful conclusion before the European elections, then the whole process might run out of steam.

We owe it to our children to give them a dignified and hopeful future.

The principal of unity and indivisibility of the republic are the essential reference points.
