Bildt finished his visit to Macedonia after the meeting with the party leader of VMRO-DPMNE, Nikola Gruevski, but the party isn’t revealing any details about the meeting.
Now leaving Skopje after a day of intense talks with all relevant political leaders. Belgrade next.

When asked by Meta whether there will be an announcement about the meeting, the party replied that there won’t be any and they sent us the following message: “The president of VMRO_DPMNE, Nikola Gruevski, together with the members of the party’s leadership welcomed the representatives of the non-government organization European Council for Foreign Policy, led by Carl Bildt. At the meeting, he announced the priorities of Republic of Macedonia and VMRO-DPMNE, which are well known to the general public.
The Swedish diplomat had separate meetings with the party leaders of SDSM, DUI, and Besa, during which he spoke about the political situation in Macedonia, possible solutions for the crisis and the pressure on non-government organizations after last year’s early parliamentary elections.
Bildt said that he isn’t carrying any solution but that he is here to hear the political leaders who will have to find the road to the solution. Still, on his twitter account, he gave his opinions about who are the three key points that will guide the politicians during the process of solving the crisis.
“Democracy, Constitution, Europe. Respect for the three will carry Macedonia forward. That was my answer to media questions in Skopje,” wrote Bildt.
Democracy. Constitution. Europe. Respect for the three will carry Macedonia forward. That was my answer to media questions in Skopje now.
