The Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MANI) has expressed its support for the integration of the Republic of North Macedonia into the EU, while respecting the identity of the Macedonian people, the newspapers Nova Makedonija and Vecer write today. The Macedonian language and its dialect forms have both a spatial continuity (Macedonian distances exist beyond the borders of present-day Macedonia) and a temporal continuity (the Macedonian language has existed for several hundred years), according to the document, whose text newspapers publish in full.

Prime Minister Zoran Zaev and Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani opened Pandora’s box by accepting conversations about the national identity and national language of Macedonians, writes the newspaper Vecer. The mere adoption of negotiations on these issues opens a greater relativization of events, reported BTA.

Both on the Bulgarian side, as in some European countries, and in Minister Osmani, we hear the phrase that “a treaty requires a commitment from both parties”, which in any case is a defeat for the Macedonian nation and language, which no one has argued ever since. the founding of the modern Macedonian state until a year ago, writes the newspaper.

Vecer notes that the Macedonian government and Minister Osmani are gathering data and advice to elaborate their position from former SDSM minister Denko Maleski, whose view is that Macedonians have Bulgarian roots. “Maleski could be an advisor to the Bulgarian side, which has the same positions as his, but not to the Macedonian side, which, after making the mistake of opening the issue and starting negotiations on it, is now trying” to find a compromise generally acceptable. “

Maleski has no dilemma that Macedonians are Bulgarians, he wrote in an article in April this year. In it, it says that Macedonians and Bulgarians were part of a single people, that in the SSR and Macedonian authorities selected the historical data and wrote Macedonians where Bulgarians were written.

The Greek government also ordered vaccines for North Macedonia in a conversation with the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, quoted by 24 info. “It is good for citizens to know that the Greek government has ordered vaccines for both Albania and North Macedonia. In a conversation with Ursula von der Leyen on Friday, it was announced that by ordering the vaccine for EU member states, the EC will order vaccines for the six countries in the Western Balkans. We will all receive the vaccines together and in parallel, and we will not depend on other countries, “Zaev said.
