FOUERE: GREECE AND BULGARIA APPROVE OF VISA LIBERALIZATION

Greece and Bulgaria have aired positive views of the visa liberalization for the people of Macedonia and I believe they will not check the advanced process for starting EU accession talks, said EU Ambassador Erwan Fouere in Ohrid, asked whether the latest pressures from Bulgaria regarding Bulgarian citizen Spaska Mitrova's case could change their politics to the Macedonian Euro-integration.

"This whole case should by no means be blown out of proportion and normal bilateral contacts should be established between Macedonia and Bulgaria so that the misunderstanding can be overcome. I doubt that this or any other similar case can affect the Macedonian integration, because Bulgaria is an EU member state and it should act accordingly," Fouere said.
