  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “We have said many times that whoever is quicker to master the newest means of armed combat wins. We have to be one step ahead. We have everything we need for this, and much has been done, but we need to double and triple our efforts in this area.” 2 hours ago
  • Alena Kudzko
    Alena Kudzko “That is definitely not something that anybody in Slovakia expected. The country has been polarised over the past year amid heightened political tension, especially in the run-up to the elections. But nobody … called for violence in the country. Quite the opposite, everybody right now is trying to unite and send a coherent message, that political violence is not something that we support.” 2 hours ago
  • Alexey Maslov
    Alexey Maslov “We value the stability of Russia-China relations. The one word I can use to describe our relationship is 'trust.' That's very important because if you look at the cooperation with the Western countries, we don't have, and we have never had, mutual trust. But with China, we have a mutual trust. Our cooperation during the last two years developed very fast. The two countries could deepen cooperation in finance and banking, as well as in sci-tech and investment.” 20 hours ago
  • Cui Heng
    Cui Heng “The world will pay attention to the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries to see how China-Russia relations can be promoted to a new height, as strategic ties between the two major powers will greatly affect the international arena.” 20 hours ago

“North Macedonia will continue with all its efforts to seek reasonable solutions for overcoming any differences with Bulgaria and remains committed to the reform process and all other segments that are a part of our European integration priorities. Furthermore, we still think that there are considerable chances, if we utilize the period ahead productively, to hold the first Intergovernmental Conference during the German Presidency.”

“It is difficult to explain why the Macedonian language is an obstacle to bringing North Macedonia closer to the Union because the EU respects cultural and linguistic diversity. History and language are not subject to debate between politicians. We will not give up, we are still talking, but language cannot be an obstacle if our partnership is honest. We are investing in our friendship with Bulgaria.”

“I don’t believe that this will turn into a copy of the 'name' dispute with Greece because the EU as well as us have all drawn some experience from that – but I also don’t believe in a quick solution because Bulgaria shows no flexibility and it has gone too far with its demands. I believe a solution will have to be found over a mid-term period, and even if we manage to unlock the start of the EU accession talks, the issues with Bulgaria will have to be resolved in parallel with the talks over the next years.”

“We will work until the last moment to make a decision of the General Affairs Council, that is our policy. Obviously, in the Republic of Bulgaria, there are more and more voices about not-acceptance of the framework for North Macedonia, but we will continue to work, to talk not only with Bulgaria, but will all member states because we have no alternative to the European path.”

“Bulgaria is saying 'No' to the start of negotiations, we are not saying 'No' to North Macedonia's accession to the EU. No one is disputing their right to self-define their nation and call their language what they like. But we cannot agree that this right will be based on hatred, history theft and denial of Bulgaria.”

“Our intention is to activate the fast track of negotiations through chapters with the full and unconditional fulfilment of our EU agenda… We will not allow further delays. We accept the new principle of reversibility of the [EU negotiation] process if there is a degradation of the democratic environment in our country, but I would stress that our solemn obligation is not to allow that in the name of the future of the state and its citizens.”

“I will say it once again – the identity issues, the Macedonian language, the Macedonian people, are part of the right to self-determination. Bulgaria is a European country and I believe that our talks are because of their ambition and justified desire to jointly honor Goce Delčev.”
