VMRO-DPMNE calls on all political parties in the Parliament to adopt a Declaration on Ukraine for peace and protection of its Integrity.

Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state and we must not allow and support its territorial integrity and sovereignty to be violated.

In the 21st century, military action is unacceptable, and peace and diplomacy must come first. It is unacceptable to violate the basic principles of international law and democratic order.

Macedonia as a country has gone through and is going through many hardships, still facing denial of its existence and roots. Macedonia is built from the zeal of human justice, from the struggle for a free, independent and sovereign state and that is why we should stand on the side of Ukraine’s integrity.

In these difficult times, it is necessary as a nation to unite and adopt that Declaration, but also to vote on the Declaration on the character and work of Goce Delcev that we proposed. Goce Delcev is the symbol, the pillar and the ideologist of the contemporary Macedonian history, the foundation of the Macedonian modern identity and the idea of a free and independent state.

That is why we must vote on the two Declarations together, because it is something that in the name of all our struggles and aspirations we owe as a symbolic gesture and sincere desire as a people with its own history of freedom and struggle for justice.

SDSM and instead of using the misfortunes for politics, let it dare to support the Declarations on Ukraine and Goce Delcev. Only in this way will they prove that they are on the right side and that they do not undermine the Macedonian identity in the background, said VMRO-DPMNE.
