North Macedonia cannot start the EU accession negotiations without implementing the required reforms, says Bulgarian Member of European Parliament (MEP) and country rapporteur, IlhanKyuchyuk.
MEP Kyuchyuk told BGNES the country cannot start the EU accession negotiations unless it changes its Constitution, risks decoupling from Albania on the EU path and remaining in the same group with Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina – countries that have serious problems with neighbors.
“On the other hand, there is the geopolitical challenge and the possibility of Ukraine starting the EU talks. Therefore, the choice is very clear – does North Macedonia want to continue to its path through reforms or join another group that has no clear roadmap towards the EU,” says Kyuchyuk.
