Skopje opposition criticize PM for interview on NATO

Macedonian opposition parties have accused Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski of damaging the national interest by unnecessarily antagonizing NATO in a recent interview.

Opposition politicians have called on Prime Minister Gruevski to explain his failure to make progress on Macedonia’s Euro-Atlantic objective in the face of Greece’s continuing blockade.

“Gruevski went against the interests of Macedonian citizens and personally placed the country in confrontation with NATO,” said Igor Ivanovski, parliamentary coordinator of the biggest opposition party, the Social Democrats.
