On Thursday, the EU Ambassador to Macedonia, Samuel Zbogar, reiterated the stands made two days prior by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker regarding the issue of a start of negotiations. “I cannot say much more than what was said two days ago by the Commission’s President, who highlighted that the country was ready to make the next steps and also said that he would convince other member-states to pledge and give a green light for an opening of negotiations,” Zbogar stated during a visit to the Kratovo region.
