President Milanović Opposes Abolishing Unanimity within the EU: The Decision-Making System Must Remain as It Is, as Unanimity Is Enshrined in the EU’s Founding Treaties
“Unanimity is enshrined in the founding treaties of the European Union. Any discussion about possible changes should also include an answer to the question of how such changes could actually be achieved. There is no consensus for amendments to the EU’s fundamental legal framework. Without consensus, there can be no changes to the basic rules. The constitutional architecture of the European Union is untouchable,” President Zoran Milanović said after meeting with the President of the Republic of North Macedonia, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, in response to a question about proposals to abolish unanimous decision-making by all EU member states in certain areas.
