- In his last annual parliamentary address in his present term of office that he delivered in the absence of the MPs from BDI, PDSH and RDK, who insist that the next head of state should be consensual, Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov said that conditions have been created for Macedonia to ask of the UN Security Council to effectuate the Judgment of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. President Ivanov said that Macedonia’s international position strengthened, that the number of partners and supporters in the EU and NATO and the number of countries that have recognized Macedonia increased. He also highlighted as positive the EU progress report on Macedonia and Macedonia’s participation in the South Stream gas pipeline project. The opposition denounced him for not providing answers to crucial questions, such as crime and corruption, partisan judiciary, pressure on media and divisions along all lines.
