Macedonia’s Prime Minister Christian Micic acknowledges EU negotiation framework unchanged

Prime Minister Christian Micic stated that no change to North Macedonia’s EU accession negotiation framework is expected, noting that any revision requires consensus from all EU member states. The ruling SDSM party welcomed the admission, accusing Micic of deliberately misleading the public for two years, blocking EU integration and fostering isolation. SDSM reiterated that the European path remains the only viable route for the country and condemned the former promises as propaganda.

The statements highlight ongoing political tension over the pace and direction of Macedonia’s EU accession process.
