Georgi Stankov#NorthMacedonia continues its sinking into the swamp of political timelessness.
After the nationalists from #VMRO -DPMNE, now their supposedly pro-EU #Albanian partners from #VLEN are stopping the inclusion of the local #Bulgarians in the country's constitution.
They live in #Macedonia for centuries' but are subject of discrimination. Their inclusion in the constitution, along with other nationalities, is a requirement of the EU for the start of membership negotiations.
VLEN Coalition Extends Deadline for Including Bulgarians in North Macedonia Constitution
The ethnic Albanian coalition VLEN, a member of the VMRO-DPMNE government in North Macedonia, has extended the 6-month deadline to add Bulgarians to the North Macedonia Constitution, Skopje media said on Friday. The coalition initially set a 6-month deadline as a prerequisite for joining the government, but that deadline was pushed aside after the elections, even though the constitutional changes and ongoing negotiations with the EU were pre-election priorities. VLEN attributed this decision to political instability in Bulgaria, rather than pressure from government partner VMRO-DPMNE.
