It is not quite clear to me, in response to Deputy Haughey's question, whether Dr. Osmani believes that North Macedonia's application is hinged on progress in, for example, the Belgrade–Pristina dialogue. Is that what Dr. Osmani suggests? I thought the North Macedonian position was that it performed everything it was asked and it should not be linked to any other regional dialogues, difficulties or processes. Should North Macedonia progress regardless of what transpires in the region? Does Dr. Osmani accept it is intrinsically linked with other ongoing processes? Regarding my previous question on the Bulgarian issue, has North Macedonia got a clear and final determination that the changes it is now embarking upon, including constitutional changes dealing with Bulgarian ethnicity, is a final issue and nothing else will be introduced? Is that an understanding North Macedonia has with the Commission?
