VMRO-DPMNE is staging protests this afternoon, with the goal of blocking the Government, Foreign and Justice Ministry buildings in downtown Skopje. The protests begin at 17h and the blockades will be on for an hour.

The protests are called to denounce Zoran Zaev’s new position on Bulgaria. In a scandalous BGNES interview, Zaev accepted practically all Bulgarian demands on issues of history and national identity, and Bulgaria continues to veto Macedonia’s EU accession talks until the new positions are made legally binding.
