Zoran Zaev is the main proponent of Bulgarian interests in Macedonia, said the opposition VMRO-DPMNE party in a press statement.

After removing the Star of Kutles from our squares, Zaev now prepares to scrape out the mention of Bulgarian occupation and part of the fascist Axis from World War Two plaques. There is no historic fact that Zaev hasn’t distorted and deformed. Zaev is an embarrassment for the country and sells out our identity with every statement he makes. His continued policy of appeasement of Bulgaria is driven by his business interests, which he advances while selling our national identity. He has no strength or credibility to reach a good deal with Bulgaria and must go, VMRO-DPMNE said.

The opposition party accuses Zaev of promising to give major business concessions, such as the Ilvoica copper mine and state owned shares in lucrative companies, to Bulgarian businessmen.
