Opposition in Macedonia demands referendum on good-neighbourliness deal with Bulgaria
Opposition party VMRO-DPMNE said on October 23 that it will send a request to Parliament to call a referendum on the good-neighbourliness treaty that was agreed with Bulgaria. The party said that the citizens are entitled to have their say on the agreement which puts their state in an equal position to Bulgaria and that this agreement will have great repercussions for the Macedonian identity.
