It’s hard to envy the residents of Macedonia because such an interest from the alliance can only mean that the republic is going to be turned for a springboard for NATO forces in the Balkan regions
And giving the credit where it’s due the work of the curators has been done very well. Information about the “Russian threat” has already swept through all the pro-Western media in the republic. However, everything began from the moment when a coalition of Social Democrats and Albanian parties headed by Zoran Zayev came to power in the republic. This very moment was the starting point in the Euro-Atlantic integration of the country.
It is not difficult to guess in whose interests the head of government acts. The residents of the country also understand this, repeatedly accusing him of betraying national interests and renouncing history in the course of large-scale protests in the capital of the republic after Macedonia made concessions to Greece on renaming the country.
Country’s leadership did not support the idea either. The president of Macedonia, Gheorghe Ivanov, twice vetoed the agreement to change the name of the republic, but Zaiev’s social democrats, together with the Albanian deputies of the parliament, overcame the veto and ratified the document. On Ivanov’s refusal to sign the agreement, the coalition threatened him with impeachment.
Here it is worth noting that the statement was approved by all 76 deputies of the country. Even the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization – the Democratic Party for Macedonian national unity, or, to put it more simply, the VMRO-DPMNE supported integration. Recall that it was this party that repeatedly protested against the concessions of Greece in a protracted dispute. But, whether realizing his helplessness in matters where the internal, it turns out, does not play a role, or whether they were frankly bought, the deputies from VMPRO-DPMN did not resist anymore.
Deputy Dragan Danev in the parliament openly accused Zaev of deceiving the Macedonian people. Now, he says, obeying the instinct of instinct, declares that NATO membership is not only a boon, but also a serious responsibility.
And here he is, perhaps, right, because for the alliance Macedonia is another resource. Rather – the first. Thus, along the valley of the Vardar River, the largest in Macedonia, is the transport corridor South-North, which is excellent for transferring troops from Greek ports on the Aegean to the interior of the Balkans.
