Rokas Expresses Optimism for a Swift Solution That Will Pave Macedonia’s Path to the EU

The European Union Ambassador, Michalis Rokas, said today that considerable work is being carried out away from public attention, with the aim of unblocking the European integration process.

According to Rokas, a solution is expected to be reached soon that will open Macedonia’s door to the European Union.

“I sincerely hope that matters will move forward. I believe that a great deal of work is already being done behind the scenes, even though this is not visible, in order to bring the process to a conclusion. I hope that a solution will soon be found that will pave the way for the start of negotiations with the European Union,” Rokas stated.

Meanwhile, experts have been presenting to the public these days a proposal for so-called internal guarantees, or the adoption of a law on identity protection, which would serve as a legal shield against any pressure.

In a six-point analysis, EU expert Dragan Tilev suggested concrete steps for the public, namely a so-called legal argumentation. According to him, it is based on the European values of Article 2 of the EU Treaty, the protection of national identity, the principle of sincere cooperation, and the membership conditions set out in Article 49 of the EU Treaty./Telegrafi/
