The protocols are not part of the negotiating framework but Bulgaria claims the opposite, citing the agreement reached with the previous government, Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski said Tuesday.
“We absolutely share the position that the protocols are not part of the negotiating framework. Unfortunately, the Bulgarian side claims that they are part of the framework and that it signed such an agreement with the previous government, in which, according to their claims, various promises were made. We, as a Government, do not appreciate that the protocols are part and should not be part of the Negotiating Framework. We have had that position from day one until today. Unfortunately, the position of the other side is completely different, and that position is such, in our opinion, due to the exhibitions and capitulation of the previous government led by SDSM and DUI and the then negotiating team, led by the loser from Chair,” Mickoski stressed.
The PM noted in a podcast on Monday that constitutional amendments in this form, as currently requested, will not happen and that he is ready to talk to anyone and anywhere until a solution is found that will be sustainable and will take us to the ultimate goal.
