Nikolay Krastev: Skopje comes out in a big break for the EU  - 1

The purpose of the speech of the Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Nikoloski is to show that Bulgaria is a problematic factor, that there is no need for relations with Bulgaria. In two weeks, the Serbian Prime Minister will visit, and by the end of the month we are also expecting the Hungarian Prime Minister. This statement was made in Orbán's media. In the last two and a half years, these media led this tension towards Bulgaria and led to the victory of VMRO-DPNE.

This is what the journalist Nikolay Krastev commented in the program "Hello, Bulgaria". on Nova TV.

What is Orban's policy like in Europe? We know how anti-Ukrainian and pro-Kremlin. Orban is again heading to be in a leadership position and support Vučić's policies in the Balkans. He wants to push back the RSM. Orbán's behavior in the Balkans is destructive, he also pointed out.

There is no other alternative for the RSM to be part of the EU. The arrival of VMRO-DPMNE means that the country is taking a big break in its European integration, believes Nikolay Krastev. "There is information that Nikolski has a Bulgarian passport," Krastev said.

Skopje gives a right turn signal but turns left. They do not want to become part of the EU. What happened is not new, said Spas Tashev.

Europe was wrong for a long time, it was misled by Skopje's pro-European phraseology. We cannot respond to every provocation. We sink to the level of the individuals we comment on. We need to look for European support, Tashev added.
