Spasovski: The situation is stable, the forces who want the referendum to fail are minor

-

Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski says that in the pre-referendum period, the situation in the country is stable, the institutions are operational, but says there are forces that see opportunities, through a breach of security, to achieve some of their goals, which is to oppose membership in NATO and European Union.

In an interview with MIA, he stressed that these are still minor forces that do not amount to destabilization.

“The geostrategic position of Macedonia brings certain risks and challenges, but they are prevented, amongst other things, by efficient functioning of the exchange of data and sharing experiences with the friendly services who are cooperating with the Republic of Macedonia. The Republic of Macedonia has many friends who support, first of all, to maintain the stability in the country, to guarantee security – the integrity of the state,” emphasizes Spasovski

As to claims that foreign services are trying to “sabotage” the build up to the referendum and Russian interference in “Macedonian affairs”, Spasovski says that Macedonia has a straight forward attitude as well as a national and vital interest to become a member of NATO and the EU. We does not want to interfere in other countries affairs, neither in the region or beyond, but we will not allow anyone to impose their interests on us.

“Yes, certain clusters of political structures, individuals, etc. are taking place, who want to oppose the integration of the Republic of Macedonia into NATO and the EU. Yes, there are such structures, there are such individuals in the Republic of Macedonia who believe that in order to meet some of their personal interests, they would use this moment to oppose membership in the EU and NATO, and by doing so, boost their political reputation. However, none of these forces are ideologically tied, they do not have an alternative to the processes that are happening in the country. Therefore, I think that Macedonia is strong enough within its intentions to realize its goal, which is to be a member of NATO and the EU,” adds Spasovski.
