No surprises: VMRO-DPMNE will let citizens decide on their own
After nearly five hours of debates in the Executive and Central Committee, VMRO-DPMNE made the decision that was expected in the political circles. After 10 pm, the leadership of the party officially announced that it will let each citizen decide on their own and how they will vote in the referendum on September 30. The party will still run an active campaign but will not direct the citizens to boycott or to vote "FOR" or "Against" the Prespa Agreement. Their activities will primarily be aimed at indicating the harmfulness of the agreement, as well as the bad policies that are being pursued by the government of Zoran Zaev.
DPNE sellouts not allowed to tell citizens to boycott Referendum | MINA Report
MINA reported roughly two months ago that DPNE’s head Hristijan Mickoski met with governor Jess Baily at least three times that we know of.
The discussions were all about the upcoming referendum and Baily’s request that the DPNE does not publicly urge their membership (500,000+) to boycott the referendum.
Out of sheer excitement to be talking to a CIA shill, Mickoski agreed to this. (What do you expect from a party who signed the Przino Agreement and brought Katica Janeva?).
Two weeks ago MINA once again stated DPNE is not allowed to urge its membership to boycott the referendum.
Today, Mickoski confirmed our earlier reports.
During a press conference at 11pm, when asked by a journalist whether the party plans on urging its membership to boycott the referendum, the DPNE leader dodged the question and stated that the party has made a decision allowing each citizen to make up their own mind, adding every citizen should listen to their heart.
In other words, the sellouts are simply not allowed… they signed a deal with the devil, just like Gruevski did and he is heading to jail.
What is of greater concern for us is the upcoming referendum fraud with Zaev yet again slipping up the ‘planned numbers’ and claiming 53% turnout. An even greater concern is the new SEC head (DPNE’s Oliver Derkovski) who we find is not of the strongest characters…
As difficult as it is to believe, and we’d love to be wrong, but the DPNE at this point are far more dangerous than the SDS junta not just for the things they don’t do, but very often for the things they do.
Why not tell your people “Stay Home”! Unless… previous arrangements prevent you from doing so. Sellouts. Tell them what you think of them right here: komunikacii@vmro-dpmne.org.mk
Baily: Citizens of Macedonia should seize this opportunity
US Ambassador Jess Baily called on citizens of Macedonia to seize the unique opportunity and exercise their voting right in the upcoming (name) referendum. By supporting the (name) agreement Macedonia will ensure a place on NATO table, he told a scientific debate ‘Prespa Agreement: International Significance and Implications on Macedonia's Euro-Atlantic Integration’, held at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MANU) on Tuesday.
Referring to the Prespa Agreement, he said no perfect deal could be reached after 27 years of negotiations, but nonetheless the document ‘recognizes the Macedonian identity, language.’
Ambassador Baily also notified the benefits of NATO membership status for Macedonia’s security, territorial integrity and sovereignty.
It’s important for citizens to come out and voice their opinion for their country to move forward.
‘This is a special moment in Macedonia’s history and this opportunity should be seized. After the launch of NATO accession talks it is also very important for citizens to be included in the implementation of the name deal and reforms,’ Baily said.
French Ambassador Christian Thimonier also commended the name deal, which finally established friendly relations between Skopje and Athens, preserved the Macedonian identity and opens the country’s road to the EU, NATO membership.
German Ambassador Thomas Gerberich cited the political analyst, Edward Joseph, who said that ‘Prespa Agreement deserves a Nobel Prize as it sets a new model for settlement of international disputes related to identity issues.’
Gerberich reaffirmed his country’s support for implementing the name deal for the benefit of the country, its citizens and the entire Balkan region.
Tsipras: Prespa Agreement can serve as model for others
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras referred Monday in his address at the European Parliament to the diplomatic achievements of his government in the region, calling the Prespa Agreement “the highlight of our efforts”.
“Together with Prime Minister Zaev we have managed to reach a mutually acceptable solution without the use of force but diplomacy and dialogue. This agreement can serve as a model for settlement of disputes in our region,” Tsipras told MEPs.
McAllister: Vučić and Thaçi have raised normalization to “the next level”
European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs Chairman and rapporteur on Serbia David McAllister said it was currently impossible to predict either the content or the date for reaching a potential agreement between Belgrade and Prishtina, but also that Vučić and Thaçi have decided to raise the normalization to the “next level,” European Western Balkans reports.
In light of President Vučić’s visit to Kosovo, as well as his meeting with Thaçi in Brussels that did not take place, McAllister told Tanjug there were challenges, but also that the Presidents have shown commitment.
“I am aware that the dialogue is very challenging. However, there are positive signals for building mutual trust. Both sides have secured Vučić’s arrival in Kosovo. It would be positive if the new round of dialogue continued in Brussels by the end of the month”, McAllister said.
Asked about differences in positions in the dialogue, as well as the possible final solution and the date to reach it, the rapporteur for Serbia pointed out it was up to Belgrade and Prishtina to decide “on the topics and time-frame” of the negotiations, while EU was to only facilitate the dialogue.
“It is currently impossible to predict either the content or the date of a potential agreement,” McAllister said.
He noted that comprehensive normalization of relations would be beneficial for the future and stability of the region and Europe as a whole.
