Though Sofia is yet to voice a stand on PM Hristijan Mickoski’s initiative for a joint resolution at the EP on the Macedonian language and identity, it’s known there will be no domestic consensus, that is, SDSM has described the proposal as harmful.
The opposition party believes that that is so because it will open issues that are already closed. In response, VMRO-DPMNE has again accused Venko Filipce’s party of putting itself at the service of foreign narratives that undermine the country’s reputation and positions.
When it comes to ZNAM leader Maksim Dimitrievski, he said the same day that the country, at certain moments, needed national consensus regardless of political affiliation.
