The issue of lifting the veto over Macedonia’s EU accession should not be a subject of a referendum, says Andrey Gurov, Bulgarian MP of the ruling We Continue the Change party, MIA reports from Sofia.

As MIA reports from Sofia, according to Gurov, the veto lifting depends on concrete actions and guarantees from Europe and Macedonia.

In a statement to BNR, he said that if there was a change in Bulgaria’s position, then it would require a joint decision in parliament, in the governing coalition, and outside it within the National Security Council.

Bulgaria has made it very clear that its national interest and the interest of the EU is for the Western Balkans to join the European family. We need to distinguish between talking about integration and working on integration. I think here the difference between the previous and the current government is really big. In recent months, a lot has been achieved for progress in relations compared to previous years, when we were in a waiting position, even waiting for the process to fail, said Gjorov.
