Macron: Compromise found with Bulgaria on Northern Macedonia’s EU accession

LAST UPDATE: 15.56

French President Emanuel Macron said he felt a compromise solution, including with Bulgaria, had been found on the negotiating framework for Northern Macedonia’s accession to the European Union. “I think we have found a compromise,” Macron told a news conference at the end of a NATO summit in Madrid.

The Bulgarian parliament gave the green light to the government on June 24th to approve the negotiating framework for Northern Macedonia’s EU accession, a move that could allow its neighboring country to start accession talks with the European coalition.

The French president said France would soon hand over six more CESAR guns to help Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

Earlier this week, US President Joe Biden promised more US troops, warplanes and warships for Europe as NATO agreed to step up its Cold War deterrent in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The European Union needs to find more alternative ways to export grain supplies from Ukraine, Macron said.

Russia and Ukraine are the world’s first and fifth largest exporters of wheat, accounting for 20% and 10% of world sales, respectively, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the closure of ports in the Azov and Black Seas. Sea have almost stopped exports.
