Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee postponed its meeting on North Macedonia until the Council of Ministers came up with a decision. 


The MPs were to discuss the so-called French proposal to resolve the dispute between the authorities in Sofia and Skopje, so that Noth Macedonia could start EU membership negotiations. The adjournment of the session was decided with the votes of the opposition parties GERB, There is Such a People, MRF and Vazrazhdane, the grounds being that whatever decision would be taken it would be unconstitutional. 

According to Hristo Ivanov, co-chair of the Democratic Bulgaria party, the French proposal is a breakthrough and Bulgaria should take advantage of it before France's presidency of the Council of the European Union ends.
