"Serbia is not only our neighbor, but a brotherly nation with which we share the past, culture, tradition, history and a common future in European integrations. We have good relations with the official authorities in Serbia and I not only do I not expect, but I as prime minister I will be advocating to advance cooperation at all levels," Zaev said.
Speaking of the disputed "Tirana declaration" - based on which he struck a coalition deal with several ethnic Albanian parties, and the reason stated by the Macedonian president when he refused to give him the mandate to form a government - he said it provides for greater use of national minority languages - Albanian, Turkish, Serbian, Roma - "wherever and as much as possible according to the Constitution and the laws, because all citizens of the Republic of Macedonia win in this way, while Macedonians lose nothing."
"The program of the new government does not provide for changing the anthem, the coat of arms, the flag, condemnation of other nations for some kind of genocide, as they have been lying in order for us to quarrel with our friendly Serbian people, it is not envisaged to change the constitutional name of Macedonia. And there is no separatism. We are all together, Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, Serbs, Vlachs, Roma, Bosniaks," said Zaev.
In addition, the SDSM leader said that "a new parliamentary majority has been established in Macedonia, while acting President Gjorge Ivanov must not interfere with the democratic process."
Zaev also said that any compromise between him and VMRO-DMPNE party leader Nikola Gruevski was "not possible."
the Serbs should not be too concerned about what FYROM thinks of them. the FYROM prostitutes were the first ones to recognize Kosovo. They have shown their true colors and now they complain about the Albanian platform which is being imposed upon them. Do not pity them for they had it coming. Gruevski and his henchmen only care about filling their pockets. They should all be arrested. The Serbs have been exemplary in their dealings with FYROM. Its FYROM who are the most offensive nation in EUROPE. Ask Greece. They have managed to upset every neighbor. Greece, Bulgaria, Albanian & Serbia have all been offended by this basket-case of a nation.

If it is a lie, then why didn't Zaev say so immediately after the claim was made? It doesn't really matter. He'll get stabbed in the back by his allies anyway. It's just a matter of time.

Zaev is a lying clown puppet of the US and EU who is so stupid he doesnt realise they are playing him for a fool or is so greedy he would sell out his own mother for a dollar. In ethier case he should be band from Travelling to Serbia and Macedonia should charge him for treason with this crazy Tiriana platform. I think a new election is in order minus soros eu and us agents. The results will greatly differ.

It's pretty clear that Zaev's actions are dictated by the agreement he struck with the albanians and fully supported by the eu.It's fake and his intentions is to cause embarrassment to Serbia and tberefore a maximum response is required by Vucic &co including the annulment of the official recognition of the country as macedonia.I am sure zaev will take notice.
