The EU’s enlargement process has finally gained dynamics, and North Macedonia should use this momentum and take a step forward, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský (Pirates, Greens affiliated) said in Skopje on Thursday. It would be a mistake if North Macedonia missed this moment,” Czech Minister Lipavský said. Due to demands from Bulgaria, North Macedonia is expected to change its constitution, so it mentions the existence of a Bulgarian minority in the country. According to Lipavský, the opposition communicated its dissatisfaction and disagreement with the constitutional change to CEE ministers. Slovak Minister Miroslav Wlachovský emphasised that North Macedonia should not miss the momentum and build consensus across the political spectrum around this “strategic goal” of the EU membership path.
