Zoran Zaev calls for snap elections

According to the French news agency AFP, the EU’s “blockade” of Skopje’s accession negotiations lasted only a few hours before Prime Minister Zoran Zaev called for elections.

“The historical mistake of Europe,” as European officials have dubbed it, has generated political shocks in Skopje, with Zoran Zaev considering resignation scenarios since its inception. In a televised speech, Zaev stated, “I propose speedy elections in which you, the public, will decide the direction we will pursue.”
