Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia and Chair of the ruling VMRO-DPMNE, Hristijan Mickoski, said that this time Europe has heard the "truth of Macedonian identity" and the EP report on the country's progress will be adopted.

Mickoski was adamant that country fight in Brussels to adopt a resolution that, for the first time since its independence, speaks of a separate centuries-old Macedonian identity. for a separate Macedonian language, for a centuries-old heritage, is over. 

“When they saw us fighting, they prayed to God that we would not succeed. When they saw us arguing, how we were winning the battle at the negotiating table, they prayed that we would not succeed. They were relieved when Brussels politicians decided to postpone the report to June 24. But there is no escaping this. This report will be adopted because all of Europe and Brussels know about the centuries-old separate Macedonian identity. And they will support this, for the Macedonian language, which is a fact,” Mickoski said on Sunday night at the 34th annual conference of the Union of Young Forces of VMRO-DPMNE.

His speech was directed at the opposition SDSM, whose policy, in his words, is aimed solely at “material interests and power,” while with his government, North Macedonia is winning on the international stage, and Europe is “listening to the truth about Macedonian identity.”

“And today we proudly tell our story about Macedonia in Munich, we are winning in Berlin and London, Brussels and Washington, we are talking about our Macedonia. It hurts them because they are cowards and they know what they have done and because they know what nails they drove into the hands of Macedonian identity, and we are returning it. We will fight to return it completely. I do not know if this generation will be able to return it, but I know that we will leave it to you, the generations that are coming, to return to Macedonia and the Macedonian citizens everything that those from SDSM sold, with dignity and with their heads held high,” said Mickoski at the conference, which was held in Veles and was broadcast live on the VMRO-DPMNE internet channel.
