The darkest moment in the Balkan region this year, was the April 27th in the Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia and the best news in the whole region was the formation of the new reformatory government. This was stated by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs at the US State Department, Hoyt Brian Yee, as part of a panel discussion at the “Dubrovnik Forum 2017” that is taking place today with a discussion on the subject of “The Adriatic- Mediterranean Collaboration and the Security of South East Europe”
Macedonian Foreign Minister, Nikola Dimitrov, at the panel discussion stressed that “the Balkans has to grow up fast before the younger generations completely gives up and goes to Europe by themselves.” Within the context of the migrant crisis, Dimitrov also said that the lesson learned from it is that no state can handle such major challenges by themselves and that it is necessary there is “coordinated action and a joint response especially with preventive actions aimed at the root of the problem.”
“Domestically, after the inner- political crisis in Macedonia, we have learned valuable lessons: stability, democracy, and the legal state go hand to hand together,” said Dimitrov, stated an announcement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
