- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs filed a note of protest to German Ambassador to Macedonia Ulrike Knotz because of her statement made before students at the Faculty of Pedagogy that in 2020 Macedonia would be an EU member state with a new name - Northern Macedonia, and that the political party, New Macedonian Party, made of both Macedonians and Albanians would be in office. She made this statement during a simulation game "We Are Creating a New Europe".
