Juncker: No date for Tirana and Skopje historic fault; Fajon: Dirty French game

The two joined the outgoing EU Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn who tweeted he was disappointed with the decision.

Juncker said that "if the EU wants to be respected, it should respect its commitments."

Donald Tusk, the head of the European Council (EUCO), also described the EU failure to decide on the date as a mistake and added "a huge majority of states was in favour of the opening of negotiations.  

Fajon, also the Chairwoman for the Delegation for Serbia, was more concrete, blaming Paris for blocking the yes vote.

She wrote that once again, France took the EU as a hostage and continued to undermine the Union's interests in the Balkans. "France is playing a dirty game, and I'm afraid that we all will pay the price. It is inadmissible," Fajon wrote.  

Tusk told people in Albania and North Macedonia no to give up since he believed they would join the EU one day for sure.
