Skopje, 3 July 2023 (MIA) - VMRO-DPMNE will not support the constitutional amendments under the current circumstances, the party will not support this process under Bulgarian dictate, said VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski on Monday.

"VMRO-DPMNE's position, linked to the Bulgarian dictate and the so-called process of constitutional revision, is clear and unchanged," Mickoski told reporters.

He said that citizens are concerned about inflation, poor economy, high prices, low wages and pensions, emigrating youth etc.

"The topic of constitutional amendments is intertwined in all of this but all of our interlocutors receive the same answer they got a year ago. Let me repeat: VMRO-DPMNE will not support, now and in the future, constitutional changes under the current circumstances and under Bulgarian dictate. If the European values are not on the table, if we do not see any change in the behavior of our eastern neighbor, if we fail to see true European values and guarantees, the future VMRO-DPMNE-led government will not support this process," noted Mickoski.

He added that all MPs of the VMRO-DPMNE and its coalition stand behind this decision.

The VMRO-DPMNE leader said elections are needed, amongst other things, to unstick the country's Euro-integration process.
