The ruling Macedonian party SDSM has reacted to the statements of the president of OBRM-PDUKM, Hristijan Mickoski.

SDSM say that Mickoski is against EU membership and according to them, the activities of the leader of the Macedonian opposition are against the EU.

"Hristijan Mickoski himself has publicly said that he is against the European Union.

Mickoski became one with Dimitar Apasiev, OBRM-PDUKM became one with Levica, a pro-Russian party that is against NATO and the EU".

"Citizens see that those statements against the EU have begun to dominate every performance of Hristijan Mickoski, as all the lies, blockades and bloody scenarios fell to him."

Mickoski's problem is that we started the negotiations with the EU, with a protected Macedonian language in the Union and a protected identity, the cultural and linguistic features of the Macedonian people", say the SDSM.
