I don’t want to talk about Plan B. We have to succeed, said Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Zoran Zaev, when asked by a journalist whether the state has a Plan B if the EU accession negotiations fail to start in December.

He said that the Government under his leadership never had a Plan B since in that case, they would abandon Plan A.

Regarding the misunderstandings with Bulgaria and the possibility of blockades, Zaev believes there are solutions for the issues that pose a challenge.

He stated that the Macedonian – Bulgarian Joint Commission for Historical Issues will manage to find a solution.
