Yesterday afternoon the US Ambassador to Macedonia Jess Baily and EU Ambassador Aivo Orav arrived at the MPs Clubhouse for the meeting for additional pressure to resolve the media issue by Friday, which is the latest date provided in the agreement.
So far, VMRO-DPMNE still remains committed to undertake any European law and to implement it into the national legislation, while SDSM and the AJM accept Vanhoutte’s proposal.
