North Macedonia's President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova said that the European Union (EU) should reconsider its negotiation methodology and stressed that it cannot treat her country in a "shut up and listen" style.

"I often say that the EU needs to think about the negotiation methodology. It can't be 'shut up and listen'. Like an older brother and a younger one, or a rich man and a poor man. No. Both candidates and candidates for candidates have something to say," Siljanovska Davkova said in an interview with the MIA agency.

She asked what kind of negotiations are these when they tell North Macedonia: "Here is the framework, implement it, change the Constitution, because we are in, we are an exclusive society, and you are waiting."

"No. The EU also needs deep reforms," ​​the President of North Macedonia emphasized.

Siljanovska Davkova said that North Macedonia will organize the "Brdo - Brioni" conference because she believes that this process must not stop.

"It may not be Brdo or Brioni, but it will be a good Balkan step. We have no problem, especially not territorial or any other problem, with our neighbors. We act within the Brdo-Brioni process as a responsible regional player and all my colleagues respect that," said North Macedonian President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova.
