9 May will this year be used for propaganda, former PM Zoran Zaev warned on Wednesday. At a debate in Strumica, he said the EU should take bold steps and solve all open issues in the region, especially North Macedonia’s. In his view, the EU should learn the lesson from the war in Ukraine. French Ambassador Cyrille Baumgartner stated that the conflict in Russia had shown the EU’s weaknesses, but also the resolve for joint action.
