On Tuesday, PM Hristijan Mickoski reiterated that the diplomatic efforts to unblock the EU path continued and that the only solution his cabinet found acceptable was a deferred effect of the constitutional changes, that is, them entering into force once the country joined the EU.
“I will say again that we work on a daily basis with our allies. If we are not present there, that means we do not do work. We have phone conversations with all, absolutely with all. Have no dilemmas about that. Today, Foreign Minister Timco Mucunski is there [in Brussels]. Even though we’re the youngest government, that is, we were elected not even five months ago, we are the first country in the region that is signing today a deal with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on security and military cooperation. We will be the first that will get the Growth Plan tranche,” he stated, adding that the new government had completed what the previous cabinet hadn’t.
However, also on Tuesday, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev reacted to counterpart Gordana Siljanovska Davkova’s comments in the interview with MTV1, during which she’d said he hadn’t commented on the proposal for the proposal for a deferred effect of the constitutional changes.
The Bulgarian President said Siljanovska Davkova, as a good attorney, knew very well the obligations assumed in international agreements had to be respected.
