Macedonia expects solution with Bulgaria in 14 days, roadmap could enter EU negotiating framework

 The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Northern Macedonia, Bujar Osmani, estimates that the announcement of the formation of a government in Bulgaria will facilitate the process of overcoming open issues and thus possibly unblock Skopje's European path, Skopje-based TV 21 reports.                                                                                                    He stressed that intensive work is being done to define an answer to the 5 + 1 points and it is expected that a response to these proposals will be given these days, which will be the basis for the next round of negotiations. The first session of the new Bulgarian parliament is scheduled for December 1st, but it remains unclear whether an agreement will be reached with Bulgaria by the time of the EU Council.                  "We expect certain concrete steps in the coming days regarding the exchange of proposals, we are waiting for a meeting between the experts from the two ministries to meet and possibly bring these views closer to finding a solution. "If we understand the weight of the moment, 14 days is enough based on what we have done so far to reach an agreement," Bujar Osmani said.
