The General Affairs Council (GAC) of the European Union is going to decide at its session next Tuesday in Brussels whether to appeal to the European Council to decide to open membership negotiations with the Republic of Macedonia at its summit on 27 and 28 June.

Considering the latest impasse in the implementation of the Belgrade-Pristina agreement and bearing in mind that only Serbia and Macedonia are EU candidate member states, the whole discussion Tuesday is expected to focus on Macedonia’s European integration, the state news agency MIA reports.

According to unofficial information, the Greek and Bulgarian ministers of foreign affairs are going to attack Macedonia with the argument that “Macedonia has no democratic capacity and does not meet the Copenhagen criteria” considering the inquiry committee that should shed light on the events in Parliament on 24 December has not yet been set up.
