Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said that Macedonia was able to preempt an attempt to undermine the Macedonian national identity in Brussels.
The revelation comes as Macedonia expects that the European Parliament will affirm the Macedonian national identity and language, in the face of strong Bulgarian opposition.
I was able to contact with everyone in Brussels and I think we were able to somehow cushion this blow that someone was trying to inflict on the Macedonian language and identity, by defining it as something recent, trying to create a new nation. There are unfortunately such members in the European Parliament but the overwhelming majority there support our arguments. We continue to fight against those who plundered and humiliated Macedonia, Mickoski said.
