VMRO-DPMNE: The European Commission ranks Macedonia among the leading countries for reforms, despite blockades by SDSM and Levica

In a statement, VMRO-DPMNE said that the European Commission has once again assessed Macedonia as one of the countries leading in the implementation of reforms from the Reform Agenda, alongside Albania and Montenegro.

According to the party, this assessment by the European Commission proves that the country is on the right track and that the progress achieved has been recognized by the institution that measures the quality and implementation of reforms.

VMRO-DPMNE also stresses that another sign of the success of the reforms is the European Commission’s proposal for the reallocation of funds from the Growth Plan, which would bring greater financial support to the states that have achieved the best results.

“This is recognition of the work that has been done, but also an opportunity for Macedonia to secure additional funds for development,” the party said.

In the same statement, the party expressed the view that it is incomprehensible that, according to it, SDSM and Levica continue to block laws stemming from the Reform Agenda.

“Every obstacle from SDSM and Levica does not obstruct the Government, but instead obstructs the fulfillment of the state’s obligations and endangers the opportunities opened up by the Growth Plan,” the statement said.

VMRO-DPMNE called on SDSM and Levica to abandon their day-to-day political interests and support the laws related to the Reform Agenda, including the Electoral Code, stressing that they are in the interest of the citizens and the country’s European future.
