- Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki at Thursday's press conference stated that the Government has prepared a response to the draft-memorandum of understanding that Greece sent to Macedonia at the beginning of October. Macedonia's response, which will soon be submitted to Athens, includes a requirement for respect, in a non-selective manner, of all obligations undertaken in the past and full commitment to dialogue. On the accusations by Bulgarian authorities over Macedonia's violation of good neighborly relations and the discriminating relation towards citizens who declare themselves as Bulgarians, he assessed that such statements do not reflect the reality, since there is no concrete example that could confirm such claims by official Sofia.
