- PM Nikola Gruevski sent a letter to EU Commissioner Stefan Fule in which he informs Fule about the outcome of the talks held in the inquiry commission involving the events of 24 December. Gruevski informed Fule in details about all aspects of the report and stressed that VMRO-DPMNE stands behind the implementation of the recommendations. Gruevski believes that these efforts will be fairly recognized by the upcoming European Commission's report on Macedonia's progress and result in setting a date for launching of the country’s accession talks in the near future.
