The European Parliament, news agencies report, is going to vote on the Resolution on Macedonia on 8 April, that is, a day after the second round of the local elections, while the special spring report of the European Commission, which, as it was agreed at the December summit of the EU, is going to pay attention to the good neighborly relations with Bulgaria, the name issue talks with Greece, and the results of the High Level Accession Dialogue, will be released on 16 April, Nova Makedonija reports.

Whether Macedonia is set a date for opening accession talks at the June Summit of the European Council is going to depend on the report drafted by EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule’s team.

Talks about promoting good neighborly relations with the eastern neighbor have progressed recently but have not been completed because of the fall of Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov’s Government and the preparations for holding early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria. In regard to the name issue talks with Greece, after several meetings of mediator Matthew Nimetz with the representatives of Greece and Macedonia, there is almost no information in the public as to what is going on. Greek Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos has recently said in an interview with the Greek paper Kathimerini that he is reserved as regards the name issue talks.
