Zaev talks about events in the north, requires that the two sides not send bad messages”

According to him, a sustainable solution to the situation should be found through dialogue.

The options we saw in Kosovo are unpleasant. The events we are seeing between the two countries are unpleasant. We can only appeal to all sides, even citizens, foreigners or anyone, not to send bad messages”, Zaev said at a news conference.

Northern Macedonia's prime minister stressed that “as a fan of dialogue and negotiations, establishing friendships”, he remains a supporter of leaders sitting on the table discussing possible solutions.

“I hope our entire region will sit at the table and discuss all possible solutions,” said Zaev.

Responding to the question of how events in Kosovo and Serbia affect the “Open Balkans initiative”, Zaev said Balkan countries aspiring to membership in the European Union should use all possibilities for talks, partnerships, as well as bilateral and multilateral co-operation.
