The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of North Macedonia, Bujar Osmani, declared today that he is not disappointed with Bulgaria’s decision to block the start of negotiations for the republic’s accession to the European Union. He added that his country expects the support of its neighbor at a General Affairs Council meeting in December, TASS reported.
“I am not disappointed. We lost this opportunity to approve the negotiating framework, but we also have a second chance, namely the General Affairs Council of the EU on December 8,” Osmani told reporters. “There is still the possibility of holding an intergovernmental conference in December. We will continue negotiations with Bulgaria tomorrow,” BTA said, as quoted.
The number one diplomat of the Republic of North Macedonia also pointed out that Bulgaria will realize the damage that it can inflict on itself and its country (in case of blocking the start of negotiations with the EU again – TASS note), and also the enlargement process and the image of the EU. In this regard, the Minister trusts the willingness of the Bulgarian partners to correct the error in the near future.
