Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, in an interview with Belgian daily Le Soir, once again urged the EU member states to take responsibility and deliver date for accession negotiations.

In the interview, Zaev explains that if no date is given to the country, he could be blamed by lawmakers that he lied when assuring them a vote for the Prespa Agreement would open the doors to the EU.

I said that if we change the name, if we maintain good relations with Greece and Bulgaria, if we implement all reforms, Europe will fulfill its promises. If this isn’t the case, of course, I’ll take personal responsibility. I won’t wait for the opposition or the Parliament to do it, but I will take responsibility and step down from office, Zaev tells Le Soir.
