The agreement between the Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Bulgaria is the source of all the problems that are happening right now and encroaches on the uniqueness and sovereignty of our country, we as VMRO-DPMNE have decided to call the people to go to a referendum in which they will say that they are against this harmful contract. That is, for the termination of the validity of the Law on the ratification of the agreement between the Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Bulgaria, said the general secretary of VMRO-DPMNE, Gjorgija Sajkoski, in an interview with TV24.

Sajkoski emphasized that this agreement, instead of being about good neighborliness, made an intrusion into the uniqueness of the Macedonian people, because culture, tradition, customs, language, history are characteristics of the uniqueness of nations.

Through the historical commission Bulgaria takes this part away from us and the issue of sovereignty is raised. With this agreement, can a state be independent if it cannot organize its own education, conduct its own international policy or organize the state as the citizens declared for sovereignty in 1991. In this way, Bulgaria wants to make an intrusion into the management of Macedonia as a state. That’s why we call on the people to come out en masse to support the referendum, emphasized Sajkoski.

He pointed out that he is pleased with the fact that the membership and sympathizers give strong and huge support for the referendum, but as he said, even from contacts with other parties that are part of the ruling coalition and MPs of SDSM, they look favorably on the referendum and give support.

The referendum is the highest act of democracy, and since the Albanian political parties are also for democracy, development, progress of the state, joining the EU, we ask everyone to support this referendum in order to listen to the voice of the majority of citizens in Macedonia, said Sajkoski.

He added that Macedonia is the only country that is so conditioned by historical issues, historical moments are required to enter the negotiating framework.
