North Macedonia has made a clear warning of growing Russian influence in the Western Balkans if the EU does not commit quickly and clearly to enlargement.
“We changed our flag, we changed our currency, we changed the constitution several times, we even changed the name of our country. All with the promise of a window of opportunity that we’ve been told existed if we do these changes for our path towards the European Union,” Foreign Minister Timcho Mucunski told Euronews.
Mucunski warned that the EU’s credibility is at stake, and that enlargement is necessary to prevent weaponising Russian propaganda.
