VMRO-DPMNE’s Nikoloski Levels Fierce Criticism at Bulgaria

In his address at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on Monday, VMRO-DPMNE Vice-President Aleksandar Nikoloski said Bulgaria, for electoral and, primarily, political reasons, was blocking Skopje’s European path. “And they continue to do so, violating fundamental human rights of the Macedonians, such as self-determination, our language, history, and heritage,” he stressed. As Nikoloski added, Sofia is one step from blocking again, at the General Affairs Council session the following day.
