The ambassador of the EU’s most influential member, Germany, Christine Althauser, does not want to forecast whether the ambition for Macedonia to get a start date for accession talks next year is achievable. He says a lot of changes have been felt in recent weeks, but the essentials have yet to happen. In a brief interview for 360 degrees, at the end of the ambassadorial term in Macedonia, Althauzer responds to the question whether she is offended by personal disqualifications at her address by President Gjorge Ivanov.
