Open issues may destabilize region, says president

There are still some open issues in the Balkans, which may become a reason for region’s political or security destabilization, Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov said in interview to ITAR-TASS, Macedonian Vecer daily reports.


The open issues are increasing our concern. We may speak about stability and security only if all countries are registering progress. The status quo of the region is bearing some risks, Ivanov remarked.


The Macedonian president also said that in the XXI century, much energy is spent on the basic human right of self-identity, self-awareness and the right of human dignity.
