“The Republic of Bulgaria vetoed the start of North Macedonia negotiations with the European Union and thus stood in the way of our European integration,” read an official statement from the North Macedonian government. From there, they categorically declare that North Macedonia “will never renounce the right of self-determination for Macedonian citizens.”
“The Macedonian national identity was not, is not and cannot be the subject of negotiations. The Macedonian people and the Macedonian language are the pillars of Macedonian identity. They come from the past and at the same time are pillars of our European future,” the government said. . . It is regrettable that Bulgaria has stopped the process of EU enlargement. “This is a serious and irresponsible geostrategic mistake,” the Macedonian government said, adding that the country was ready to begin negotiations.
It is stated that the North Macedonia government will not allow internal reforms to stagnate and will accelerate the pace, because the strategic objective is to move the country towards the EU and build European standards. “There is no other path for us, no other alternative. The future of Macedonia is European,” the government said in a statement.
