North Macedonia's conservative Prime Minister expressed frustration over reports of a potential setback in the country's European Union accession process due to a disagreement with neighboring EU member Bulgaria. The Prime Minister criticized the EU for attempting to dictate terms to North Macedonia and emphasized his reluctance to accept any further delays in membership talks with the 27-nation bloc.
Recent developments indicated that EU ambassadors meeting in Brussels decided to advance Albania's EU accession process independently of North Macedonia's, signaling a potential divergence in their negotiating paths. While the European Commission refrained from confirming the separation of the two countries' paths, it hinted at differing timelines for their accession processes.
