Prime Minister of North Macedonia Hristijan Mickoski does not believe that his country will become a member of the European Union in 2030. 
This was stated in an interview with Bulgarian National Radio by Lyubcho Neshkov, a journalist with expertise on the Western Balkans and owner of Bulgaria's largest news agency, BGNES.

"European Council President Antonio Costa openly stated to the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Hristijan Mickoski, that Skopie has no plan B for joining the European Union.
There is only one option for North Macedonia to start negotiations for EU membership, and that is to fulfill its commitments," Neshkov said, commenting on the results of Costa's visit to Skopie.

The journalist also quoted Mickoski's words to Euronews Serbia, which the Macedonian prime minister said on the day of Costa's visit. When asked by the host whether he believed that North Macedonia would join the European Union in 2030, Mickoski replied firmly that he did not believe so. 
“Mickoski has clearly decided that the country will not be independent and will not be part of the European family. While we are talking about the European Union and integration, he is talking about an economic union with Belgrade and Budapest,” Neshkov emphasized.
Mickoski is copying the behavior of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who is known for his vulgarity and primitivism.

An example of this is the response that Mickoski gave to Costa when the issue of including Bulgarians in the Constitution of North Macedonia was raised – a key condition for starting negotiations with the EU. The North Macedonian prime minister told Costa that he would include the Portuguese, a reference to the nationality of the high-ranking European official.
"Mickoski is just another tool of this primitivist policy. The fate of Macedonian citizens is sad and tragic. It is sad because they are forced to live every day in conditions of verbal aggression," explained journalist Lyubcho Neshkov.
According to him, only public pressure can change the situation in North Macedonia. І BGNES
