members one more moment european union member states want negotiations to start simultaneously with north macedonia macedonia and albania, bulgaria does not block albania, but since there are no negotiations with north macedonia, albania also does not hold such negotiations , which is why they do not have a lot of common history it's just that she is in that group together with north macedonia and nothing happens. so we can get the status then wait let's say for this reason we have to first start the negotiation process with the ideological western blocs is already a candidate as earlier than and then with you and when you start them a when bulgaria will take it off against north macedonia, and what is the point of us here? well , talk to the leadership of bulgaria, let them pass the northern border, they will talk about kanteravstvo there, because until they pass in to the north at least we will add good to the beginning advantage with you understood not understood this is what the european union looks like and we will mean with the prime minister of north macedonia and the prime minister of alban

ultimately, the leaders of serbia, north macedonia and albania, brussels did arrive, having previouslysued a joint communiqué, despite significant differences. they abandon the idea of ​​a boycott, demonstrating a desire to cooperate, the fourth country that currently has the status montenegro did not initially plan to join dimash as a candidate. north macedonia has had candidate status for almost 17 years, and accession negotiations have not even started with albania for 9 years. so, greetings ukraine is excellent. if they are given this status. i hope there are not too many illusions among ukrainians the leader of the frg , olaf-scholz, said before the meeting that the countries of the western balkans had already contributed a lot. six months of economic sanctions against russia that were introduced in 2014, no new sanctions are expected at the summit, a topic of concern to europeans rapid decline in purchasing power, the leaders will discuss on the second day of the meeting. on friday , we will talk about improving financial and economic stability in the euro area, which is faced wi

bulgarian king samuel as their king, even though his capital was in a fortress on the territory of north macedonia . it will be clear until the macedonians clearly say all this and do not give a guarantee for the development of the bulgarian national minority in macedonia, and the macedonians believe that all these people are macedonians for me, as bulgarians, that is a special moment, we will not allow such negotiations to be held. albania is waiting for the start of negotiations, not because it has any complaints against it, but because negotiations with it should take place in a package with north macedonia. no montenegro believes that it is not ready for victory and hopes that it will be ready for negotiations in 2025 or so. this means that it does not apply for negotiations. although it is a candidate of the european union or not, it means that we can imagine that ukraine is approaching the negotiation process. here it will be very important that we have there were no problems with any of the countries of the european union, or the procedure itself for admission to the european union ceased t

by bulgaria on a north. macedonia getting counted as he status. he said he can't yet inter the fact that the bulgarian parliament has now lifted that veto, but that it appeared to be a positive sign. so clearly, this is an issue that is very, very important to him. also to french president macro and doesn't want to give the wrong signal to the western balkans. but the fact is they're very disappointed that ukraine got candidacy. but not that chief political correspondent, melinda crime. thank you so much more details coming up at the top of the hour with more from the ah, ah, every journey is full of surprises. we've gone all out to give you some tips with. i'm in your northern most count please. ah, brain times along. still very much alive. d. w channel, you'll guy to the special with recognizes where exactly it was fun and i have learned a lot of our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. ah, ah. 2020 do is the year germany phases out nuclear power, or is they'll have an expert view on why he thinks the country should r

a certain reform of the internal procedures of the european union, because ah, in the case of north macedoniait became a hostage to the position of one country, and this is a country that, in order to join the north atlantic alliance, had to change its name from macedonia to north macedonia because of greece's position. and now we see that because of bulgaria's position, it is offered to take an additional series of steps there with which she may not agree, and that is why you and i also understand that this is national legislation that got there as one of the conditions for ukraine in order for ukraine to start legislation on national minorities. negotiations about the accession we also understand that it definitely got there from the submission of our neighbor hungary, which manipulates this issue all the time in our bilateral dialogue and which has already taken hostages of our development of our relations with nato when it is precisely because of its position that the ukraine nato commission, even at this time today, cannot happen at the highest level because of the position of hungary. t

north macedonia is a candidate for e-e members of the european union. since 2005, she has been a candidate, since 2005 the negotiations have not yet started because 17 years have passed, it is quite serious 17 years. the republic of macedonia is waiting for these negotiations. at first it was against it, greece was against it, now bulgaria has hope that next week the bulgarian parliament will unblock this story with negotiations with macedonia and albania and they will start, but we repeat macedonia was waiting for the start of negotiations, it fulfilled all the conditions for 17 years and is still waiting. well, let's hope that we can have a faster deadline that will allow us to hold these negotiations faster, let's look at some ideal options. croatia, a neighbor of macedonia, is already a member of the european union . it became a candidate in 2004. negotiations began at the end of 2005. then there is a process of checking the legislation for the possibility of negotiations. then there is a year of delay because the republic of slovenia, which was alr

and the second question is - it's a question in north macedonia, it's a long question, so i won't. uh, i will only say one thing, that in north macedonia uh, bulgaria hmm does not support the accession of north macedonia to the european union for a number of historical reasons , i will not talk about it now. these are two fundamental e, so to speak, in which the parliament had a big e big disagree. there is a possibility, if you can rest on the gas. yes , you are now getting bulgaria from america to gaz , and, accordingly, boyko borisov, former prime minister, yes. uh, the opposition offers an alternative option with the bulgarian stream. yes, as far as we know. here, is it being discussed and can there be any connection? you see, yes, of course, it is primarily discussed in expert circles. uh, that's because, but uh, that's the government. it strongly supported the need to completely stop the supply. e of russian gas. and if we remember, then in early march. and at that moment, when gazprom announced that there would be a different payment scheme, or in particular payment in ruble

they acted as they sang along with nato, such an assessment of the actions of bulgaria, north macedonia montenegro, was given in our foreign ministry, after these same countries closed the sky for sergei lavrov's plane and disrupted his visit to belgrade, i emphasize. this board is precisely the minister of foreign affairs, all passengers are members of our delegation. and then the unthinkable happened. the sovereign state was deprived of the right to carry out foreign policy. and who gave these wires brussels puppeteers are the words of the head of our diplomacy. they want to use the balkans to contain russia, but serbia does not play these games for today . eu visit of the russian foreign minister to serbia predictably the main topic of today's press conference by sergei larov, happened, of course the unthinkable. i understand the interest you show in our assessment of these outrageous acts. what happened was, in general, deprivation of a sovereign state, and the right to exercise foreign policy. hmm , serbia’s international activities are blocked, at least, at the moment, in the russ

can do. xllt'ideo what north macedonia can do.va will move as quickly as possible to implement the necessary reforms. also the chief of staff to president zelensky will say kyiv will do everything it can to implement the plan. this is bbc news. the headlines. taliban officials in the afghan province worst—hit by an earthquake, thought to have killed over 1,000 people, say the search for survivors in many areas has ended. eu leaders have granted candidate status to moldova... air passengers face further disruption this summer after hundreds of ba ground crew and check in staff at heathrow voted overwhelmingly for strike action in a dispute over pay. it comes as the second day of rail strikes is underway — strikes is under way — with half the network closed in england, wales and scotland. only 20% of services are believed to be running. relatives of the young men murdered by the serial killer,

and this is what i said with regard to albina and north macedonia. because in 2003, these countries have received the perspective to become candidate the have been candidate for many years. no one thought that it would take us so long. so this is why i'm pregnant because it is in our, its own vital interest. and in the interest of everyone, i love who decided for the him, european, who hath we need to defend our credibility by and actually make quicker progress as far as the western ball comes, is concerned. you may go fish idp on this next. yes, you can. thank you very much. mister chancellor. i would like to ask you a question pertaining to the g 7. a crisis was going to be a topic today. we've seen a conference on the level of foreign ministers on global moon security group. now, has a summit going to result in the largest on the portion of the nation and a question pertaining to an energy not in stream. one is going to be closed down on july 11th for maintenance works there. our fear is that it will not go back into a black at work again before y

no, montenegro and north macedonia support granting ukraine the status of a candidate for membership in the european union, the leaders announced this under during the summit of ukraine and the states of the western balkans, the prime ministers of albania and montenegro arrived in kyiv on the eve of the valley decision, there should be a recommendation already this friday the european commission and the final decision on whether ukraine will receive the status of a candidate for accession to the european union at the summit of the leaders of the european union at the end of june, our states ukraine, the republic of albania, the republic of montenegro , the republic of north macedonia should become full members of the european union, and we agree that our states are not competitors in this on the european path, they only complement and strengthen each other's capabilities . albania is among the countries that have the status of a candidate for the eu, and its countries have received it for more than 10 years therefore, despite this, nato member states do not see competition in the str

one country, north macedonia, changed its name in order to settle the dispute with greece. and none of it helps were hm. and there's still no pro groceries than it's absolutely right for that the, the policy makers in these countries express their frustration. so it's not going to be an easy summit with these 6 member stable. so it's in the end or rather with these 6 states of western bell cons, but they need to know that earlier aside than this. and i very much hope we know that everyone will do their bit and see the big picture and be aware of their responsibility. for the e, you must give green light with for negotiations with your albania and north macedonia. government as my then discussions with the 0 well gerin prime minister heavy shown me that he is very constructive in his conversations with scorpion and we all know today as well to good. but there are intense debates happening in the country dos us with them because of that is what makes dignity, our coexistence in europe so difficult that the things that have fared, worked with foundation in the far past are sud

this is not for the negotiations and north macedonia, while it is known that there is a new politicals in bulgaria, so it is unlikely that in the near future, this issue will be paramount there, which is interesting before the start itself, this is another issue that almost blocked the issues of discussing the status of a candidate for ukraine namely question energy journalists have repeatedly asked the leader the question of what they plan to do with gas, mark ri. in particular, he was asked if he believed that russia would suddenly cut off gas supplies to the european union. he said no, he did not believe in such a development of events. now, at this same meeting, the leaders will not agree to act as a single bloc on the energy issue, then so be it. ah, the script. perhaps he gave the example of germany, which is moving into the next phase, but practically a state of emergency with the energy issue. if germany has said, it is ready to suspend the industry. this is a sufficiently serious signal to finally start discussing a common common european energy policy . however, the energy i

north macedonia has candidate status for the 2005 eu. here, of course, ukraine is involuntarily recalled by the government, which is pursuing the same goal with maniacal persistence, but the former part of yugoslavia northern is in the european family macedonia has not yet entered, at first it was against greece, now bulgaria is making concessions, but historically, the disagreements since the second world war are too strong. the bulgarian parliament now needs to approve a new government, but no one believes in success. and this means that the president will most likely dissolve the parliament and the country is waiting for the next early elections, the fourth since april last year, evgeny reshetnev and polina gamzyakova to lead. at the peak of his popularity in the late eighties and early nineties, he played eight concerts a day on new year's holidays gathered 13 sold-out at the olympic stadium in the forty-ninth year of his life, yuri shatunov, the leader of tender may, one of the brightest domestic pop singers, his uncomplicated, but

they are here in brussels hmm how i recall earlier three of them, albania, serbia and north macedoniauh, threatened to boycott this summit because, in their opinion, progress with their uh issue is moving too slowly. as a result, the night before, late in the evening. they said that they would still arrive in brussels a as a demonstration of the desire to negotiate, but after this summit, where is the fact. they didn't really hear. nothing new albania came out with a rather harsh statement of the face. first, is it a shame that a nato country like bulgaria is blockading two other countries? namely albania and north macedonia at the height of the war, in fact, bulgaria leaves these countries in the backyard of europe, while 26 other countries sit motionless and demonstrate their impotence present france macron. at the same time, e, de facto confirmed that progress in the issue of the western balkan countries in the near future should not be expected, in his opinion , too early before the conclusion of any settlement agreement between bulgaria, which continues to impose the right not to

membership of montenegro and north macedonia in north atlantic alliance and why does nato need such countriesey need it solely to , uh, punish russia in order to expand the anti-russian foothold in europe and create, uh, threats and create mechanisms, as i said, containment is not at all something, but what require article ten of the washington treaty on the establishment of the north atlantic alliance , which, as we quoted not so long ago, but assumes that the new members. first, they must meet the criteria. and secondly, the most most importantly, they should bring added value to the alliance in terms of strengthening the security of all its members. well, what kind of security i'm looking for? security was strengthened by montenegro, north macedonia but, as a tool to contain russia, as well, you know, i sang along with the big uncles, they coped with their role quite well. i feel sorry for these countries. these are two people friendly to us with beautiful nature and a wonderful history, which uh, they uh, honor and uh appreciate our relations in the past. uh, but the current current polit

says that ukraine should have no illusions about e-e acquiring membership in the european union north macedonia candidate for 17 years if i'm not mistaken albania 9 we congratulate ukraine it's good to grant candidate status but i hope that the people of ukraine will not have big illusions about this. well, we know that turkey is finding the status of e-e has been in this status for 13 years since 1999, we know that montenegro since 2010, serbia since 2012, albania since 2014 this is a long candidacy that exists in some countries, countries allow the russians to raise their eyebrows, and the same deputy head of the security council of the russian federation, dmitry medvedev, says that while ukraine will join the european union, the european union can therefore in the form of you will cease to exist. based on your diplomatic experience, do you think that ukraine will be able to pass, well, together with moldova, because we have to enter this candidacy together, or will we be able to pass this candidacy as experts and gain membership in the european union much faster than albania or north macedon

demand that the name of the macedonian language be changed to gromstke, the official language of north macedonia, because they say the current name offends ethnic bulgarians macedonia agreed to change its name, but it cannot change its identity, it cannot change its language, it can not change its history, but in the end, the bulgarian parliament, with an absolute majority of votes, lifted the veto on the macedonian question. thus, the country got a chance to start negotiations on full eu accession the gypsies are here. now let's imagine that ukraine is already today in the eu, the decision to expand the union is adopted unanimously , so the new candidate has to agree with everyone who is already in the elite club, and sometimes without political very painful compromises cannot be avoided. what can hungary demand from kyiv? the problem is that each new wave of eu expansion will be more problematic than the previous one. kyiv's demands regarding the ethnic minorities of transcarpathia, i.e., the precedent that is being created inside macedonia does not predict anything good for ukraine, every cou

take sergey lavrov to serbia will take place bulgaria north macedonia montenegro closed the sky for theernment board. today , negotiations were to be held in serbia and the head of the russian foreign ministry and the president of the republic, instead of sergei lavrov, alexander vučić would be present at the meeting. in the evening, he is going to make an appeal to the nation, what is happening, the official representative of the russian foreign ministry and called the iron curtain, noted that absently such a step would not work, strange those surrounding serbia closed the communication channel, which did not open the flight sergey lavrov, who was heading to serbia, the russian delegation was supposed to arrive in belgrade for negotiations, the eu and nato member countries closed their airspace and closed another communication channel. our correspondent boris ivanin, who was supposed to cover these negotiations, will tell you more about the cancellation of sergey lavrov's visit to belgrade. north macedonia and montenegro, as well as bulgaria, as a member of the european union, have lon

ambassador sergei lavrov could not personally fly to the meeting, bulgaria, north macedonia and montenegro closed the sky for his board. in the regions of siberia of the far east, the summer began with an abnormal cooling, last night the temperature there dropped below zero degrees, the krasnoyarsk territory on the weekend and was completely covered with snow, the weather was also in the south of russia and the lower volga of the volgograd region the day before a large hail passed and saratov street was flooded powerful. amendments to the constitution of kazakhstan in a referendum supported by more than 77% of citizens put 33 points to the vote. if they are adopted, the powers of the head of state will be curtailed, and the parliament will have more opportunities to influence the country's policy. anti-russian sanctions have turned for the west into accelerating inflation in the near future, the situation can only worsen, while in europe they are already questioning their effectiveness and calling for a more careful approach to the rejection of our energy carriers alexandra nazarova unders

loud high-profile diplomatic scandal bulgaria montenegro north macedonia refused to let through theirirspace a plane with the head of the russian foreign ministry sergei lavrov, the minister was supposed to go to serbia today for negotiations with president aleksandar vučić, but the visit had to be canceled, as they joked in the foreign ministry , the ability to teleport our diplomacy has not yet mastered, but they promised that the reaction will be extremely tough and not only in the format of diplomatic protests. blocking airspace is another closed channel of communication the action of the eu and nato directed against russia and against serbia emphasized us on smolensk square, by the way, on june 10, chancellorhof scholz should fly to serbia, as reported by the serbian media , he allegedly threatened that i would give you a whole visit if the russian minister did not arrive in belgorod earlier . broke the site of the russian ministry of construction and housing and public utilities further business news. denis talalaev denis is not working now, egor, while everything is still not w

expert pass this candidacy and be a much faster member of the european union than albania or north macedoniaimply provides opportunities for its candidates during a reasonable the period of time acquired membership really has such a concept, a reasonable period, that is, when, well, it cannot be measured by a centimeter, because each country is an individual case and here you need to take individual steps, but there is a positive logic, well , the admission process cannot last 30 years true well, then he loses his sense, but on the other hand, if we look at these candidates, then, apparently, not everything happens with them as it is written in these very copenhagen criteria, it is another thing that he himself the european union creates problems for entry because it still has the principle of unanimity when accepting foreign policy and i am very happy because now practically a discussion has begun regarding the fact that some postulates that have been valid throughout the existence of the european union will have to be abandoned. and by the way, that topic quite frankly, the chancellor of g

foreign minister lavrov accused nato of the fact that north macedonia , montenegro, and bulgaria forbadespace, the plane he was supposed to fly to serbia received a lot questions regarding the reaction to unprecedented decisions taken by some members of the north atlantic alliance, decisions that prevented the visit of the minister of foreign affairs of russia to the republic of serbia a sovereign state was deprived of the right to conduct foreign policy, the international activities of serbia have been blocked, at least for the time being in the russian direction, lavrov says. well, as far as i am concerned, the foreign policy activities of the russian federation are blocked to a greater extent, and the serbs, if they really want to, can certainly meet with russian visas, in which case well, here the main story is that they did not let the minister of foreign affairs of russia in, and they did it, not some super powerful states, but just states principled and we understand. so this is an extremely serious signal. well, in recent years, russia has puffed up like a frog, imitating, so to

north macedonia and montenegro, as well as bulgaria, as a member of the european union, have long closedir air space for any ships from russia but all the way through the diplomatic side. sergey lavrov was heading to belgrade on a working visit on a special flight, separate permits were required, and they were denied the answer to the question of the russian embassy in montenegro, it came to the point that president aleksandar vučić began personally to coordinate the route of sergey lavrov, the serbian prime minister told the serbian prime minister the situation in connection with the visit sergei lavrov is extremely complex. incredibly, the situation in europe and the world is such that the president of one countries should deal with such things as the logistics of the arrival of the foreign minister of another country, whether or not he arrives alexander vučić, whom the russian foreign minister met last october. now he started talking about blackmail again, from the west, allegedly a german chancellor, who was also going to visit the presidential palace of serbia next week, but on frid

as happened with turkey and north macedonia, meanwhile in europe itself there are mass protests in belgiumemonstrator demanded that the government cut spending on weapons and send money to raise wages, according to economists, if ukraine and moldova will join the eu inflation in europe will accelerate. what moods now reign in the countries of the old world, and what they expect from the upcoming site, roman sobol found out european politicians are used to keeping a good face on a bad game today in brussels at the eu summit there will be a lot of broad smiles and pathos of demonstrators who walked the streets of the belgian capital the day before, demanding to spend money on salaries, and not on weapons, the police squeezed out of the center. while euro officials would benefit from hearing the eyes of the people, we must spend the money we saved for other people. it is not normal that people who work cannot lead a decent life when we are talking about a normal life. we are not talking about four vacation trips a year or buying a mercedes, we are talking about the opportunity to go to a rest

this week relations soured quickly which it announced on twitter, serbia, along with albina and north macedonia. considered skipping a long plan meeting with their ear counterparts in brussels in protest of their store membership bits. the 3 leaders backtrack shortly after, but the thread shows how high frustration is in the west some boykin's. because despite summit over to summit, they are still in the waiting room. some in brussels are concerned as well. we risk losing these people because we can already see that russia, but also china are trying to, you know, to get her foot on the, on the ground that there are there influencing the hearts and minds as they say. the 6 western broken states are a different stages on their way to join that you, albina, bosnia and herzegovina. casa, though, montenegro, north, macedonia, and serbia. the most recent irritant is that such as rule flow and corruption. this is very difficult to root out in this will take, obviously time, but this is again, you support in this direction will be key. some fear the western broadcast could be left behind with ukraine a

no freedom to choose partners bulgaria refused to provide airspace to sergey lavrov’s plane to north macedoniaf sofia’s refusal as members of the eu is natural, in the sense that the european union imposed sanctions against the head of the russian foreign ministry, then the decision with a copy will burn the obvious conjuncture, north macedonia and montenegro are candidates for the eu in which brussels clearly makes it clear that full-fledged membership depends, among other things, on compliance with the common european, anti-russian policy of a signal for belgrade, which also seeks to join the european union we greatly appreciate the courageous position taken by serbia in this regard personally president aleksandar vucavich a, who emphasizes that he will not. engage in anti-russian activities, but the european union wants exactly this. what he wants is for all candidates to take on obligations of a russophobic character, the meeting with aleksandar vučić should have been the central event of sergey lavrov’s visit; moreover, the president of serbia personally tried to negotiate with neighborin

union, let's hear our states , the republic of ukraine, albania, montenegro, the republic of north macedonia should become full members of the european union, and we agree that our states are not competitors on this european path, but only complement and strengthen each other 's possibilities. declarations of support for granting ukraine the status of a candidate for membership in the european union on the same topic other world leaders, in particular, the president of france, naal macron, who was visiting romania, said that the european union should send a clear signal of political will to the ukrainian people, the president of romania, in particular klaus iouganis, after the meeting with macron, also clearly stated that in ukraine it is necessary to grant candidate status as soon as possible, if necessary, to send an appropriate signal in i would like to remind the russian side that on june 17, i.e. already this friday, the european commission will announce a decision on the applications of ukraine, moldova and georgia for the status of candidate states for accession to the european union,

tell me you've got to think about a country like north macedonia, macedonia had to take a name, change, changing the name of the country so as to make the process easier at these countries. the leaders of these are countries at north macedonian, others widens at why the process is taking so long. of course you have to know there's 2 sides to every story. but you've heard, for example, the german chancellor, making the concession that at the ease you needed to make long as macedonia, as well as others. we now heard from the european council president shall michelle, that there was a willingness among the use members of the game. but as far as this summit goes, they walked away with nothing more than a promise. tell me to leave it there for 9, christine won't let us take a quick look at some of the stories making headlines of this. our journalism russian president vladimir putin says he is rerouting trade and wake of western sanctions over ukraine. the announcement was major in an online meeting of the leaders of brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. russia completely suspended

how pena north macedonia, montenegro, serbia, yet they have seen the accession process really drag for many years now. some of them have even being candidates for more than a decade. they want to see progress there, all those within the you. he says the progress is absolutely essential, especially in this context in which russia is increasing its influence in the region of less, very little progress for now. but what we do know is that was fun. but for some of those western vulcans leaders, they are particularly upset with each member, bulgaria, because bulgaria as continue to use it's vito to block the accession process for north macedonia. because of a dispute over language and over cultural identity. that is a great source of frustration to those leaders in western boykin's men looking at what's happening with ukraine this possible fast track of its candidacy. and they're saying, well, you know what about us? thank you for that. natasha butler in brussels. a germany is stepping off its gas emergency plan saying it's facing a supply crisis. and its economy minister says a comp loud g

western balkan leaders with bulgaria and each member state the keeps using it's veto against north macedonia, over cultural identity and language issue blocking north macedonian progress. so on all these levels, western vocal leaders very pleased about ukraine, but they want to see their own progress speeded up, or not to pitcher in brussels. natasha, thanks. germany is stepping up. it's gas, emergency plan saying it's facing a supply crisis and it's color minister says it cannot rule out gas rationing recalls or dwindling deliveries. russia. european union says it will temporarily revert using coal to deal with reduce flows. but the, you insist the change will not d rail. it's longer term climate goals. and the measure will be phased out just as soon as possible. a russian use agency, his release footage that appears to show heavy fighting between pro russian and ukrainian forces in easton, ukraine. the u. k. defense ministry says the russian advance towards me, the chance is putting pressure on the surrounding region, including the city of fear of the nets. moscow's news agency says a $300

sergey lavrov hail was supposed to fly out, but bulgaria, north macedonia and montenegro, all this stateskies and instead of a working visit to serbia, the head of our foreign policy department. i had to give a press conference in moscow, what happened was, in general, deprivation of a sovereign state, and the right to carry out foreign policy. serbia's international activities have been blocked, at least at the moment in the russian direction, if the visit of the russian foreign minister to serbia is perceived in the west as almost threats of a universal scale, then, apparently, things in the west, uh, are very bad, according to sergey lavrov , the actions of sophia save and burn nothing more than a visual and demonstration of the most base methods of pressure on those who are guided by national interests and do not want to sacrifice their political dignity. the kremlin noted such actions, although they bring discomfort, but are not able to interfere with the work of russian diplomacy , of course, such hostile actions towards our country are an offering to high-level representatives of

north macedonia 17 tell me when, objectively, from your point of view, negotiations on ukraine's accessionan begin. well, as a full member of the eu." but there are also examples of other countries that very quickly joined the european union, e.e. finland, e.e. austria and so on, that is, a lot depends on ukraine and how quickly it will change, but also here a very important factor and this fact is how quickly it will be done reform of the european union because now if accepting ukraine as a member of the eu would greatly complicate the decision-making process, because ukraine is one of the largest of these countries, and this would mean that it would have the largest number of members of the european parliament, and would have one of the largest number of votes in the council of the eu and also the european commission cannot constantly grow from the 27th to the 29th-30th, that is, the eu itself must go through a certain reform to the instructional one in order to be able to accept new members. that is, it is all due to two factors on the part of the eu and on the part of ukraine, as they

these are countries such as, for example, a albania, north macedonia, but serbia is less enthusiasticich is also a candidate in general, but with turkey, the process has practically stalled or is frozen, as you wish, turkey’s position here and uh, according to nato, a spoke in the wheels in finland sweden inserts, so there are many unresolved questions and discussion - this is here, probably, including because of the grievances of these countries that have just been listed, too, probably, it will be so strange. oh yes, which will also be interesting to watch all. here are the next, probably there, weeks of the month. or maybe even years after all, the european bureaucracy is such a stubborn thing too. eh, really. indeed , these processes can take years. and in any case, it is quite obvious today and it has been confirmed publicly that the chances of, uh, a breakthrough on the issue of the admission of finland to sweden in nato at the upcoming 28-30. a-a june summit of the north atlantic alliance is minimal. yes, if they do not invent a formula retroactively, but we'll see. uh, really,

bulgaria north macedonia and montenegro closed the sky for sergey lavrov's plane, which was supposedesult, of course, the visit did not take place. well, i think it’s like they are afraid there that lavrov will personally talk to at least one adequate european. in europe, how good, not when they themselves had successful negotiations, but when the russian one was torn down. maria zakharova, speaker of the ministry of foreign affairs, said that with these actions , the eu and nato member states closed another communication channel. if the nato countries do not allow our minister of foreign affairs to visit serbia. so we will have to make it so that serbia will border on russia. i hope in bulgaria, montenegro and north macedonia they understood what i mean, as shoigu says on a tank, slower, but more reliable. this week, the russian ambassador to the united states received an american letter of happiness russian ambassador to the united states anatoly antonov said he had received a letter urging him to oppose putin for other ways to outmaneuver russia on the diplomatic front. the united

north macedonia, another applicant, is trying to get into the eu 2004 in skopje, but cannot fulfill all the strict requirements of brussels for the sake of this state. i even had to go for a humiliating name change simply because in greece there is a region with the same name that kiev is not given the green light according to standard rules. everyone understands the receipt of ukraine and the status of a candidate - this is wonderful, but we know that this status is not a panacea. you can wait in this status for 20 years, as, for example, northern macedonia is a step forward. but what about bosnia, it's a dangerous country. is she full of weapons? is there potential for a genuine hot armed conflict? the answer is no . so what's stopping us? would still if it comes to extending this invitation to countries that don't get it, i'm being misrepresented as a much smaller threat because ukraine is a threat, but it's worth the risk, i suggest you and other countries of the former soviet union, the president of kosovo, unrecognized by moscow, and this territory also calls georgia and moldova a

i mean, you have to think about the country like north macedonia, that has been given candidate status and, and held that status for about 17 years now. and old macedonia also had to change its name so that it could meet some of those requirements and make it easier for that effect session. these country say we've been waiting in the wings for a long time. they see how quickly things can happen as has happened in the case of ukraine, and wondering what has been the delay all about a day, how to press conference and eat as of the western balkan countries where they expressed their absolute frustration with how slow the process is taking for them. this was acknowledged me you needed. i went on to have another 3 hour discussion about the, the situation of the west mulkins, while they were not able to deliver anything today. and it is clear that this is something that they're going to have to put their hits together about and perhaps towards the end of the year, there might be some movement on that of areas. because remember, with the least united brussels is always briefly thank you. or f
