EU blunder: How Macron’s North Macedonia snub hands huge boost to Russia and China

Serbia has to pick a side.

Sure, and it just picked to shit all over the lives of its citizens

EMMANUEL MACRON did the right decision as far as I can tell. Other than the unconstitutional taking power and changing our name the Zaev government did nothing to deserve the EU accession negotiations. In the contrary it has been involved in criminal activities using the political power for personal gains. EMMANUEL MACRON preserved the use of Macedonia internally and saved our history from the Bulgarian aspirations. I am glad that he did THAT.

Serbia has to pick a side.

In my opinion Eurasian Economic Union was a good and right move by Serbia. EU declared that Serbia will have to leave Eurasian Economic Union once admitted in EU, but until that happen (if ever) Serbia can be part of Eurasian Economic Union. For Macedonia EU declared that Macedonia can have good political relations with Russia and good economic relations with China. Once Macedonia is admitted in the EU (if ever) it has to comply with the EU policy. Until then Macedonia has options, consider UK (is leaving), Norway and Switzerland are not part of EU so adding to that the other West Balkan countries Macedonia is not alone.

N Macedonia should now explore similar options

They are going to be trading with their neighbours as they can economically compete. You struggle to compete with Kosovo let alone anyone else. No one cares if you blow up your costs and trade with Tajikstan.

Obviously, they don't care.

Half of Europe doesnt want anymore enlargement.

^ If the EU would be really so worried, then there would have long since been a coup d'etat. One that the EU (or USA for that matter), of course, has nothing do with. Not until the archives open somewhere around 2075...
