According to the independent group of VMRO-DPMNE, if any concessions are made during the constitutional changes process that concern the field of nationality, its eight members will not support the amendments because that exactly is considered a benefit for Macedonia during the signing of the name deal. When it comes to SDSM, the ruling party considers that VMRO-DMNE will not obstruct NATO and EU membership. Zoran Zaev’s party is optimistic that the constitutional changes will be supported by 80 parliamentarians. DUI, too, is convinced that the final stage of the changes will get the necessary majority.
