Skopje, 16 September 2022 (MIA) - A referendum on the Treaty with Bulgaria cannot and shouldn't be organized. It is one of the pillars of the Euro-Atlantic Republic of North Macedonia alongside the Prespa Agreement and the Ohrid Framework Agreement. Uninational referendums on strategic issues of the country are a dangerous precedent and they cannot be held, Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani said Friday. Also, he added, international treaties cannot be revoked by unilateral decisions. According to Osmani, the opposition by submitting the referendum initiative for the Treaty with Bulgaria has done a favor to the constitutional change process because it separated the debate on the constitutional changes from the Treaty with Bulgaria, because they are not related. "Constitutional changes are not part of the Treaty with Bulgaria. Since you only dispute the agreement, it means that you are okay with the constitutional changes. I think this is a good thing to separate this debate. Fine, we will debate the Treaty with Bulgaria. It is an obligation that cannot be revoked, however let's debate in the long term whether it is good or not good. But, it's not related to the constitutional changes. They are not controversial, they reflect our relationship toward the communities and all other smaller communities. There's no reason to discriminate," said the Minister. Osmani said he was confident that each passing day, support for strategic state decisions and courses will grow for difficult regional and geopolitical contexts. "I know that VMRO-DPMNE will not benefit from this position on strategic issues and their image before the citizens and the international community will also not benefit. To play games with strategic issues in daily politics has always been a losing game for those who are playing," noted the top diplomat. Commenting on the opposition party Levica's announced move to launch a new referendum initiative, Osmani called it "a party in function of the Russian propaganda to turn the Macedonian people against the EU and the United States." "I believe they will do no major harm to the country because there is a consensus over the course taken, but they might harm the people they are representing trying to turn them against the values we're sharing," Osmani said. It is legitimate, the Minister said, the parties to use the people's frustrations for political gain, however, to a certain extent because it mustn't be at the expense of the country's future or the future of the citizens.
