Kovachevski: VMRO-DPMNE has shown the biggest support for Bulgarian clubs in the country 
Skopje, 13 November 2022 (MIA) - The ministers at a government session will discuss all aspects of the law on association, adopted unanimously in Parliament, and once the discussion points out which parts should be reviewed, then a decision can be made, Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski said Sunday when asked to comment on the Foreign Minister's initiative to send the amendments to the law to the Venice Commission for a review. He said he wouldn't sent the new law on associations, which will be implemented in the country because the lawmakers passed the amendments unanimously. Commenting FM Bujar Osmani's remarks that Bulgaria is conducting an active campaign against the law on associations in international institutions and the likelihood of the Bulgarian clubs being supported, Kovachevski said that the biggest support for the Bulgarian clubs in the country has already been shown by VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski. "The biggest support for the Bulgarian clubs in Macedonia was shown by the VMRO-DPMNE leader saying it is a continuity of Vancho Mihajlov and the protests in Bitola were organized against the Vancho Mihajlov club," the PM said adding it is also being assumed that the club in Bitola was also opened with the support of the largest opposition party in the country. It's not disputable, he added, that our legislation should be examined by the European institutions and that also we need a new law on associations. "But, I do believe that this law and all others in connection with the relations with Bulgaria shouldn't be sent to the Venice Commission." Asked whether he will listen to Minister Osmani and convene a government session soon to decide to send the law on associations and the amendments to the Venice Commission, PM Kovachevski said that the Ministry of Justice is tasked with communicating with the Venice Commission.
