There are several obstacles in the past 30 years that we couldn’t foresee, for example the dispute with Greece. We couldn’t foresee first of all that it would last that long and that it would practically block us in joining every international organization. I hope the latest one now, the dispute with Bulgaria, won’t be of such proportions and won’t last that long, President Stevo Pendarovski said in an interview with TV 24.
However, he added, it’s also beyond belief that can be a dispute in which an EU and NATO member state says “you are not Macedonian”, or “you are not speaking Macedonian” or “erase everything from history by this and that year and accept completely our historical narrative and put it in your textbooks.”
