Mickoski: End the bilateralization of the European integration process
Speaking about the constitutional amendments, Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski appealed to stop the bilateralization of the European integration process. Mickoski said in a televised interview tonight that it is not a question of whether the citizens or the politicians have the will for constitutional changes, but that there is a will in Brussels to resolve this issue.
- This is not about will... Citizens, political parties have shown their will many times, the question is whether Brussels has the will to solve this problem, because if there is a will in Brussels, there is a way. The Eurointegration process is a two-way street. The Eurointegrative process is not just a dance of one, this is not a solo dance, we must have a two-way street, we must have a dance in which two people play. The real address is Sofia by way, and Brussels by direct. We need to know what they are planning with Macedonia. We have a completely equal foreign policy with the EU, a security policy, we continuously monitor the processes led by EI, but unfortunately for the past two and a half decades it has been plagued with many challenges and those challenges are artificial. Those challenges have always hit and continue to hit the Macedonian identity, all of them and many times the Macedonian identity has been started in the past. Concessions have been made at the expense of the Macedonian identity. And in that direction, I appeal to stop the bilateralization of the European integration process, Mickoski said in an interview on ALSAT television - M.
Unfortunately, he added, some of the member states are trying to introduce as many bilateral problems as possible into the European integration process. Someone should come out and explain the essence of the negotiations, says Mickoski, pointing out that they are to increase and improve the capacities of the institutions.
- And now we are talking about how to improve the capacities of our institutions, and we are solving issues from the Middle Ages from the 11th and 12th centuries, said the Prime Minister.
He confirmed that on September 19 he will travel to a meeting in Brussels and that the government's proposal, which is already being discussed publicly, will be announced there. Mickoski says that they will not enter naively into any processes and concessions, without having a clear plan and guarantee.
- And that clear plan and clear guarantee must be a confirmation that will be based on a clear message and clear achievements. We can no longer enter into processes without having a predictable end, and that is why we are a constructive partner in the process and say let's sit together with the government in Sofia and talk and see if we have a proposal. We are clearly speaking about that proposal, that proposal is not from now. The proposal for delayed application is logical, let's finish the negotiations, then let's see what we'll do, how we'll do it, let's see what with the verdicts from Strasbourg about the Macedonian community from Bulgaria, let's see what finally happens with the Macedonian identity and the language, etc., that's why what if you look at chapters 34 and 35 they are gone… We have many issues to discuss. We are ready, we want to discuss and find a solution, says the Prime Minister.
In the interview, the prime minister also spoke about the ten postulates with which he called for unity and unity, noting that the majority of citizens want a better life, higher wages, order, and not ethnic themes and tensions with which SDSM and DUI defocus by trying to protect crime.
Prime Minister Mickoski emphasized that the majority of citizens, two-thirds, do not want ethnic conflicts and tension, but want a better life, more money, higher wages, a higher standard and order, and that is part of these ten pillars.
- There are politicians and political structures who, in the absence of such an offer or unwillingness to acknowledge what this government has done in the past two months, are trying to defocus ethnic issues, thinking that in this way they will mobilize a larger mass, so that they can protect the criminally acquired property, Mickoski pointed out.
