The protocols that govern historic issues are not part of the negotiating framework with the EU, but Bulgaria claims the opposite, saying that it was agreed with the previous Government, said Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski today, about the on-going dispute with Bulgaria which is blocking Macedonia’s EU accession. We absolutely share the position that the protocols are not part of the negotiating framework. Unfortunately, the Bulgarian side claims that they are part of the framework and that it signed such an agreement with the previous government, in which, according to their claims, various promises were made. We, as a government, do not appreciate that the protocols should be part and we think they should not be part of the negotiating framework. “And in the meantime, we will deliver on the reform agenda, we will create a better society, and better living conditions”, Mickoski emphasized.
