North Macedonia’s main opposition party, the Social Democrats, SDSM, accused Foreign Minister Timco Mucunski on Tuesday of holding “secret talks” about the country’s EU future behind the backs of its citizens.
North Macedonia’s accession talks have repeatedly stalled despite the country becoming an EU candidate back in 2005.
Instead, since 2020, Bulgaria blocked the process, arguing that North Macedonia had failed to address issues related to history, language and the rights of people who identify as Bulgarian.
