North Macedonia's prime minister, Zoran Zaev, has warned that a decision not to launch European Union accession talks with the Balkan nation may put the Prespes name deal at risk, as the two processes are intrinsically linked.

The international relations secretary of North Macedonia's nationalist opposition has said that if his VRMO-DPMNE party is voted to power in April, it would challenge the name deal signed with Greece in 2018.
