Reaction from Zaev’s cabinet on the views expressed today by Nikola Dimitrov

Jan 12, 2022 | NEWSROOM, POLITICS

Northern Macedonia has clear positions in the talks with Bulgaria, built with full governmental unity and sent in response from our MFA to the Bulgarian MFA. “Macedonian identity and the Macedonian language are not a topic of conversation between us and Bulgaria at all,” he said The office of the resigned Prime Minister Zoran Zaev on the views expressed today on the current Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Nikola Dimitrov.

The reaction points out that the Macedonian positions, which are fully in line with the Portuguese proposal that was adopted by the Slovenian Presidency and which are fully in line with the Resolution adopted by the Assembly, are built through a comprehensive consultation process and working meetings in which Dimitrov had an active and substantive role.

– Nikola Dimitrov agreed with the Macedonian positions in these negotiations, in fact he had a serious role in the creation of our positions, through the process led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bujar Osmani. If Dimitrov is against any of the positions we have built together, it is fair for the people to say so and explain why, because otherwise only the impression remains that his non-participation in the future government is the reason for such inaccurate and speculative public manifestations in order to put a burden of distrust in the government from the front, the reaction emphasizes.

Dimitrov told a news conference today that he had not resigned alone, but that his positions on the dispute with Sofia were the reason he would not be part of the new government.
