Europe would not be united without the Western Balkan states, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said after meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in the Hungarian town of Sopron, where they both marked the 30th anniversary of the opening of the border between Austria and Hungary, considered as the beginning of the end of the Cold War.

VMRO-DPMNE Vice President Aleksandar Nikoloski commented on this meeting.

Meeting of the two most powerful leaders in Europe Angela Merkel and Victor Orban. United for a strong Europe! The meeting took place in Sopron 30 years after the Pan-European picnic marking the beginning of the fall of the Iron Curtain and Communism. Merkel and Orban’s policies for strong economic development, clear Christian values, law and order, fighting corruption, responding to the challenges of illegal migration, a common defense policy under NATO and a more prosperous economy, education, health, social care under the EU are the future of VMRO DPMNE and Macedonia. A future that this Zaev government has neither concept nor vision nor people to recognize it, a future that VMRO DPMNE will work with its CDU and Fideszpartners and other members of the European People’s Party after winning the next early parliamentary elections, he wrote on Facebook.
