If SDSM and Zaev really accept a formula under which Goce Delcev will be declared as a Macedonian in the regional sense, but part of the Bulgarian nation, that would mean complete assimilation of the Macedonian nation and would be a blow to the foundations of the contemporary Macedonian state. It would be an additional humiliation, VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski said during a live Facebook chat.
“Any such move would be fully on Zaev’s initiative and his responsibility, and the future VMRO-DPMNE led Government will reverse it immediately,” said Mickoski.
