Government officials are scratching their heads how did Lidija Dimova end up representing Macedonia in Brussels.
Dimova, employed at NGO Open Institute Society financed by George Soros and close friend of SDSM's Radmila Sekerinska claimed the EU should put an end to all IPA funds and any other financial form of support because Macedonia does not have a national program to use these funds.
Dimova supported her misleading and negative statements with an explanation that there will be elections next year.
Contrary to her statements, the Macedonian Embassy in Brussels had already provided officials with documentation which showcased how 100% of the IPA funds have been used in that joint programs have been established between Macedonian border cities with towns in Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia.
During Dimova's speech, Macedonian embassy personnel, delegates from Montenegro, Turkey, Croatia and others were stunned by her angry speech. It's not often you see someone misrepresenting their own country, attacking it using political language...
The biggest scandal of it all was not the fact Dimova stated absurd lies against her own country. SDSM members publicly state their allegiance to the party, not the country as we've seen once again today. The question remains of the Government's oversight. The Macedonian Embassy in Brussels is asking who sent Lidija Dimova to Brussels, and most importantly why?
Lidija Dimova represented Macedonia as a member of a Soros funded NGO. She has nothing to do with IPA funds nor does she have any knowledge on EU funds in general. The rest of the nations were represented by competent economists and experts on IPA funds.
