Brussels: Macedonian political parties must find a way to preserve the Przhino Agreement

-

Today’s decision of President Gjorge Ivanov to stop trials of politicians puts into question Macedonia’s commitment to promoting the rule of law, said the European Commission tonight.

“The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has committed itself to promoting the rule of law and fighting impunity. Against this background, today’s decision by President Ivanov on the pardoning of a number of officials raises serious concerns. It comes at a time when all parties should be seeking ways to preserve the Przino Agreement. We call on all sides to avoid interventions that risk undermining years of efforts within the country and with the support of the international community to strengthen the rule of law”, said a spokesman for the European Commission.

Brussels are now saying that it is necessary to support and continue the work of the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office, as well as to work on preparations for credible elections.

“It is important to support the work of the Special Prosecutor and her team established by parliament as part of the Przino Agreement to continue to investigate the serious issues brought forward last year. It is equally important to prepare for credible elections and to keep the country on the Euro-Atlantic path. It is therefore essential that all parties return to dialogue and find a common agreement that serves the citizens”, said the spokesman for the European Commission.

President Ivanov in his address to the nation said that the political crisis in Macedonia was imported from abroad and that his decision to grant amnesty and abolition would put an end to the crisis, which was not resolved by the Przhino Agreement.
