As the opposition VMRO-DPMNE is positioned, we can get motivation for new quarrels between Macedonia and Bulgaria, if we sit down together. If we want to quarrel with Bulgaria, I do not need Mickoski, I can do it myself, said Prime Minister Zoran Zaev on Thursday.

In response to a reporter’s question, why was the opposition’s request for a leaders’ meeting for consensus on the problems with Bulgaria rejected, he also said that the opposition’s rhetoric is currently useless.

The goal is to build friendship and find solutions to continue as the two countries want the whole Balkans to integrate into the European Union. However, the rhetoric of the largest opposition party VMRO-DPMNE, its leader and leadership is definitely not helping what we are doing as a country to achieve our strategic goal, which is the next step for the European integration of the Republic of North Macedonia, stressed the Prime Minister after Thursday’s session of the Security Council.
