Bulgaria’s Georgiev: Constitutional Changes not Only Condition on Skopje’s EU Path

According to Bulgarian Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev, the constitutional changes aren’t the only condition on North Macedonia’s EU path. As he said in an interview with a Bulgarian TV station, even if the changes are made, then, other conditions from the “European consensus” may follow.

“The entire EU is behind that consensus. That’s very important and that’s a condition that should be repeated constantly. Second, protocols, the roadmap for communities and minorities, adherence to what’s been agreed on good-neighbourliness is within that European consensus. All of that should be a fact. Otherwise, there will be no meeting of the European consensus, there will be no meeting of the Council’s conclusions”, Georgiev stated.

The Bulgarian Minister stressed that until that became a fact, the first cluster, which concerned human rights, wouldn’t be opened.
