The fact that the convicted Vlado Buckovski, who was acquitted by Zoran Zaev’s Supreme Court, is negotiating with Bulgaria is an introduction to a new apocalyptic scenario, the leader of VMRO DPMNE Hristijan Mickoski said at the protest in Kumanovo on Wednesday.

We continue to express our revolt against the wrong policies of the government led by Zoran Zaev and SDSM. Before I get to the point, I would like to briefly recall some facts that VMRO-DPMNE warned about in the past. I will start from the very signing of the Good Neighborhood Agreement with our eastern neighbor when we warned that only a political amateur can include in the agreement the resolution of historical disputes and they to be further criteria for the country’s progress in European Union integration, said Mickoski in Kumanovo.

Mickoski reminded that at that time they were brutally and rudely rejected by Zoran Zaev.

He signed this Good Neighborhood Agreement in an acrobatic way and we see that these historical disputes not only are not a solution, but also a problem. We were right, but unfortunately the fact that we were right does not reduce the damage that the exhibitionism of Zoran Zaev caused to the Macedonian people, the Macedonian nation, the Macedonian state. In March, we warned that a memorandum passed by the Bulgarian Parliament would be an integral part of the negotiating framework. But, unfortunately, even then we were convinced by the ruling majority and by Zoran Zaev that this is not true, that this is fake news, etc., said the opposition leader.

This year I personally warned that at the meeting between the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Macedonia and neighboring Bulgaria, our Minister was asked for a new agreement, or an Annex to the agreement or a document that will have a new final framework and new final meaning. I was also brutally insulted by Zoran Zaev and Bujar Osmani and Nikola Dimitrov that this is fake news, that it is not true, etc. But it turned out that it was all true and that we were right, he added.

Mickoski warned the Macedonian public, the Macedonian people, the Macedonian nation, the citizens of Macedonia about the appointment of Vlado Buckovski as an envoy in the dispute with Bulgaria.

The new appointment of Vlado Buckovski as an envoy in the dispute with our eastern neighbor, who was acquitted by Zoran Zaev’s Supreme Court, the man who was convicted of embezzlement of tank parts, today he is to resolve historic dispute with neighboring Bulgaria state, is an introduction to a new apocalyptic scenario, an introduction to a new betrayal that will have to be committed against the Macedonian people, the Macedonian nation and the Macedonian state, assimilation of the Macedonian people, Macedonian history, the Macedonian language, tradition, customs and renunciation of the Macedonian national minority in our eastern neighbor, said Mickoski.
