VMRO-DPMNE and SDSM reiterated their opposing views on the constitutional changes issue also at a conference marking Europe Day, organized by the European Movement and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation on Wednesday. The path to the EU is clear, while the constitutional changes are not a threat to the identity, opposition leader Filipche said.
On the other hand, MP Antonijo Miloshoski presented his party’s stand, i.e., he said that without clear guarantees that no new demands would be imposed, there would be no constitutional changes.
German Ambassador Drexler and EU Delegation Head of Cooperation Steffen Hudolin said North Macedonia had to use the positive momentum prevailing in the EU regarding enlargement.
Also on Wednesday, Telma, citing table.media, reported that five EU members had proposed active and systematic integration of Western Balkan countries into key sectors of the single market before full-fledged EU membership on the basis of results achieved in alignment with the EU acquis and the rule of law in order to maintain the dynamism of enlargement. The non-paper is signed by Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
