The German Ambassador to Macedonia, Christine Althauser, believes that, according to Western European standards, bearing political consequences is necessary in order to resolve the political crisis.

“The Government has not yet addressed the serious allegations being the result of the latest developments and presented recordings, which irritates me as much as it does other Western observers of the political stage in Skopje,” she said at Monday’s lecture at the Iustinianus Primus Faculty of Law in Skopje organized in association with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung.

“According to Western European standards, political consequences are inevitable taking into consideration the proportions and nature of these allegations. I will be as clear as my colleague from the US was last week: bearing political consequences means tendering resignations, as a precondition for launching transparent and impartial investigations,” Ambassador Althauser said.
