The head of the Albanian Democratic Party, Menduh Thaçi, spoke about the French proposal in a television interview.

Thaçi said that since the time of President Kiro Gligorov until today, this is the worst proposal, but also that the next proposal will be even worse.

"I have a 30-year political career.

I will say that this is the worst proposal so far, from the time of Kiro Gligorov until today.

The next proposal will be even worse," he said.

Asked why he says this, Thaçi says that he is not joking with the international factor.

"They offer you a compromise.

We need a compromise for a better future.

This is not a French proposal, this is an EU proposal.

With this agreement, we definitively put an end to Russia's influence in Macedonia.

No one says that the Macedonian language and the identity of Macedonians are controversial.

Albanians have understanding and are on the side of their fellow Macedonians", said Thaçi.
