The International Democratic Union (MDU) is the first international political institution that has changed its own statute to prevent a Greek block of Macedonia. At the meeting in London Friday, MDU voted through a new statute. Apart from Greece, all other countries supported the changing of the statute to abandon the principle of consensus-based decision-taking.

“VMRO-DPMNE has turned from an observer to an associative member, which Greece had long been blocking. This decision was supported with acclamation by all guests, prime ministers and ministers,” VMRO-DPMNE’s press service informed.
