Skopje wants the Constitutional Court to annul an agreement with Bulgaria and the EU

The Constitutional Court in Skopje has initiated a case to establish the constitutionality and legality of the protocol of the second meeting of the Joint Intergovernmental Commission of North Macedonia and Bulgaria, the Maxfax agency reported.

The protocol was signed in Sofia on July 17, 2022 by the then Foreign Ministers Teodora Genchovska of Bulgarian and North Macedonian foreign minister Bujar Osmani. The document states that: "the government of North Macedonia agrees that the next Intergovernmental Conference with the EU to open negotiations for North Macedonia's membership in the EU will be held," after Skopje included the Bulgarians in the North Macedonian constitution. The signing of the protocol was a prerequisite for the Bulgarian parliament to approve the EU Negotiating Framework for North Macedonia, BTA recalls.

The initiator of the initiative in the Constitutional Court is Lilyana Popovska, an MP from the ruling majority in Skopje.
