VMRO-DPMNE member of Parliament Dafina Stojanoska warned that there are many business interests that are included in these deals, pointing to the Zaev family and its extensive dealings in Bulgaria.

Long ago Zaev made promises to business lobbies and now he needs to deliver”, Stojanoska said.

Bulgaria has officially blamed Macedonia of failing to facilitate the entry of Bulgarian businesses on the Macedonian market, and it is widely speculated that major banks and companies will be taken over as part of the deal Zaev is making with Bulgarian Prime Minister Borisov.
