We are committed to reforms and we’ll do everything that is up to us, while the European Commission will judge if we really deserve to join the European Union based on delivery, since they are the ones saying this is a merit-based process, Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said Wednesday.
“Today we had a morning meeting with EU representatives, from the enlargement department. We discussed those reforms that are part of the Reform Agenda in the grace period after December and those that are on track until December, which expire in 2026. We are the only country, to be honest, in the region, that is working on reforms by December. At least that is what they said, we remain committed to that delivery,” said Prime Minister Mickoski.
“In other words, we will do everything that depends on us. It is true that we will not sign capitulations and white sheets of paper like the previous government did, and nothing will be delivered home. So we will do everything that is related to the reforms, to our homework and then leave it to the people from Brussels, to the European Commission to judge whether we really deserve to be part of the European Union based on delivery. Because I always hear that this is a process based on merit. That is, the more you deliver, the more you get. Here, we will try to deserve it through the delivery of reforms, we will leave the rest to them,” PM Mickoski added.c
