“The political crisis is getting increasingly deeper. Fast and serious decisions are needed. There s no more time for delays and obstruction”, said EU Ambassador Aivo Orav while attending celebrations for May 9, Europe Day at the EU InfoCentre.
“The Przhino Agreement from last year, has created hope among the political parties, the general public and the international community. Unfortunately, in the past year we have seen obstructions, delays and the non-implementation of the Agreement. The amnesty was the last straw. When that decision was made, the explanation was that it was done for Euro-Atlantic integration of the country. Euro-Atlantic integration means democracy and the rule of law. But w must have a different understanding of the rule of law. Fast and serious decisions are needed. There is no more time for delays and obstructions. The European Union is here and will continue to be here to help the country to move closer”, said Orav.
The celebration was attended by Parliament Speaker Trajko Veljanoski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikola Poposki, SDSM leader, Zoran Zaev, the leader of the VMRO-DPMNE, Nikola Gruevski, Special Public Prosecutor Katica Janeva with her two leading prosecutors, Lence Ristovska and Fatime Fetai, US Ambassador, Jess Baily, Ambassador of Great Britain, Charles Garrett, Ambassador of the Netherlands, Wouter Plomp, of Italy, Ambassador Massimo Bellelli, and representatives from various civil societies and the people from the business sector.
