During a press conference in Skopje following his meeting with Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar, Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski underscored that any alternatives proposed as substitutes for EU membership are utopian and fall short of the advantages provided by being part of the European Union. Kovachevski emphasized that the attainment of this objective now lies entirely within their control. He acknowledged that while the final step is technical, the decision won’t be an easy one.
