“Sofia and Skopje need to return to the negotiating table and to the foundations of the agreement with the things that are common to both, instead of fixating on the short-term horizon – up until March,” Ilhan Kyuchyuk, who is European Parliament's Permanent Rapporteur on the Republic of North Macedonia, said for the BNR’s Horizont channel.
