Skopje, 22 October 2022 (MIA) - VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski said Saturday that they will not support amending the Constitution until the European Union gives guarantees that the country will join the Union and that we will not be subject to new veto from the eastern neighbour. “Until someone from Europe and Brussels will come and give a clear guarantee to this Macedonian people and to the citizens of Macedonia, then we will be able to sit down and discuss everything. Until then, there will be no changes to the Preamble and no interventions in the Constitution,” Mickoski said. Asked about the conditioning by the Albanian MPs that they would support the inclusion of other nationalities in the Preamble only if the Albanian language becomes official in the country, Mickoski said that it is unprincipled and non-European. “If you are asking me about the process of altering the Preamble of the Constitution in order to include parts of nationalities, and as a reaction to that process, that process occurs, I can say that it is unprincipled and non-European, because if you believe in the European agenda, as they say, they should believe unconditionally. It is the essence of that process,” he said. Under these circumstances, under a dictate and an ultimatum, he said, we will not agree as VMRO-DPMNE and as a parliamentary group led by VMRO-DPMNE to change the Preamble because that would be humiliating for us. “Our goal is not to start the negotiations, which according to the Government have started, but our ultimate goal is for Macedonia to be a part of the EU and we are ready to talk to get certain guarantees that this is the last request that we will not be subject to additional veto by our eastern neighbour, that we will not be the subject of assimilation and hegemonic behavior,” Mickoski added. “Therefore, we say that our goal is to be part of the EU, and that is our goal and the goal of our citizens. We say that the inclusion of a part of the Bulgarian people in the Preamble was an obstacle, and does the Macedonian people have a guarantee if that happens, there is no guarantee. Until someone from Europe and Brussels will come and give a clear guarantee to this Macedonian people and to the citizens of Macedonia, then we will be able to sit down and discuss everything. Until then, there will be no changes to the Preamble and no interventions in the Constitution,” he said. According to Mickoski, the issue of the use of the Albanian language is the subject of the Law on Use of Languages, which is reviewed by the Constitutional Court. "I said in an interview that we should wait for the decision of the Constitutional Court. If you mean that norm of about twenty percent, I have also said many times in the past that I am ready to sit down and talk with anyone, about Badinter principle, to have a fair system in Macedonia, where people will not progress because they are part of some kind of number, but because they are worth it, because they are competitive, they have knowledge, etc.,” said VMRO-DPMNE leader Mickoski, who attended opening ceremony of kindergarten in the Aerodrom municipality on Saturday.
