Outgoing PM Kiril Petkov: If Republic of North Macedonia Wants Development, Then the European Way Is the Only Answer

It should be realized in the Republic of North Macedonia that if the country wants to develop, then the only way before it is the European one, outgoing prime minister Kiril Petkov said in a Saturday night interview for bTV, adding that he considered the overall actions of Bulgarian diplomats excellent.

In Bulgaria, North Macedonia was like a fog curtain to divert public attention while some people were trying to walk off with some funds at the Road Infrastructure Agency and the state-owned Avtomagistrali EAD, Petkov said. The draft French EU Council Presidency proposal on enlargement with that country is unprecedentedly good and makes the Bulgarian position on the matter a European one, he added, commenting that at the moment they are finding it very difficult to accept in North Macedonia, but that they should, if they want to choose the European way.
