Do all y’all think this is a secondary effect of the Russo-Ukrainian war (the tightening of relations between the EU and non-member states to prevent Russian domination)? I know the resolution of the Greek-North Macedonia name dispute happened awhile ago, but it seems the war was at least the kick in the pants for stuff like this.
Lawmakers in North Macedonia on Saturday passed a French-brokered deal aimed at settling a dispute with Bulgaria and clearing the way to long-due European Union membership talks.
With 68 votes, the 120-seat parliament voted in favour of the agreement. Opposition lawmakers did not participate in the vote and left the room.
The deal proposes that North Macedonia's constitution be amended to recognise a Bulgarian minority. The proposal does not require Bulgaria to recognise the Macedonian language.
In exchange, Bulgaria will allow its West Balkan neighbour to start membership talks with the EU. After the agreement was adopted, governing party deputies rolled out EU and North Macedonian flags.
