The statement is almost identical to the statement that last week as given by the spokesperson of the Department of State, Mark Toner, after speculations from certain media in this country that the Embassy in Skopje doesn’t speak in the name of the US administration. Toner was decisive that there won’t be any changes in the US policy towards Macedonia.
