Nikola Dimitrov has a series of key dates highlighted in his calendar, but 24th of March is of utmost importance. That’s the date of the EU General Affairs Council in Brussels whose agenda includes the issue of setting a date for opening negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania, informs the Greek newspaper To Vima which did an interview with Dimitrov after the High-level Conference on the Western Balkans.
Regarding the Prespa Agreement, the minister said that it is part of international law, but we what is necessary now is to open accession talks. This will help the country to overcome the division among the people”,
Regarding the protest note issued by Greece regarding the removal of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy’s name plaque, Dimitrov said that ” oe has to be honest toward the people and with the voters”
“It may be legitimate for someone to have such an agenda, but we also have to be mindful of the consequences. It’s not fair to say to the public that the Prespa Agreement needs to be annulled, and then say to foreign interlocutors behind closed doors that the Agreement is a reality that needs to be accepted. VMRO-DPMNE voted for the Washington Treaty (NATO’s founding treaty), but tried to discredit those who voted for the changes to the Constitution. They oppose the Prespa Agreement but like the results stemming thereof”, said Dimitrov in the interview, among other issues.
