Sahara: North Macedonia Backs Morocco's Autonomy Plan
Rabat — North Macedonia announced its support for Morocco's 2007 Autonomy Plan as the only basis for resolving the Western Sahara dispute, marking another diplomatic victory for the North African country's position on its territory. The North Macedonian government announced this stance in a joint declaration signed Monday in Skopje by Foreign Minister Timčo Mucunski and his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita. Mucunski reaffirmed his country's longstanding support for the UN-led process aimed at finding a fair, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution for all parties involved in the dispute. The two countries expressed commitment to UN leadership in the political process and voiced support for UN Security Council Resolution 2756 from October 2024. This resolution stressed the role and responsibility of the parties in seeking a realistic, durable, and compromise-based political solution. The ministers also backed the efforts of the UN Secretary-General's Personal Envoy and his mission to advance the political process in line with relevant Security Council resolutions and UN Charter principles. North Macedonia's position adds to growing international momentum behind Morocco's autonomy initiative. In a letter to King Mohammed VI, France's President Emmanuel Macron called the plan that Morocco proposed in 2007 to offer the region autonomy under its sovereignty the 'only basis' to solve the dispute. On June 1, during a joint press conference in Rabat, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that his country would change its position to support Morocco's Autonomy Plan for the Western Sahara, calling it 'the most credible, viable, and pragmatic' solution to the conflict. The US recognized Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara in 2020, while Spain shifted its position in 2022 to support the autonomy plan as 'the most serious, realistic and credible basis for resolving the dispute over Western Sahara.'

Spanish media in Bojan Miovski Celtic transfer link
The striker joined La Liga outfit Girona from Aberdeen last summer, although the move hasn't worked out so far. Miovski has played 22 times since his move to Spain, scoring four goals. He could be on the move this summer, and AS reports that Celtic are interested in a move, alongside Freiburg and Hamburg, both of the German Bundesliga. Read more: It is said that a sale of Miovski won't be a 'simple matter', and that Girona must receive a 'sufficiently attractive offer' to part ways with the 26-year-old. The North Macedonian scored 44 goals in 98 appearances during a two-year stint at Aberdeen. Links to Celtic come as the Parkhead club reportedly close in on the signing of Japanese centre-forward Shin Yamada from Kawasaki Frontale. Sky Sports claims a £1.5 million deal for the 25-year-old to move to Glasgow has been agreed. Yamada recently spoke after making his debut for Japan in a 6-1 victory over Hong Kong: "I went into the game with the feeling that this was my chance to impress and although we won, I thought I could have done more," he said. "I think that going forward, when we compete in the World Cup, it will be against far more difficult opponents, so I need to keep that in mind as I work on my national team progress. "I thought I might have been able to score a goal, but I think I learned a lot from this. "On a personal note, I have to admit I have had a disappointing season. I set high standards for myself and I don't think I met them if I am being honest. "Yes, I enjoyed a very good season previously and scored a lot of goals, but for whatever reason it didn't happen again this season. "I think the team played in a different style and that made a difference, but I am fully aware I have to raise my standards."

Kyogo price 'set' as Celtic striker transfer mission surges with Strelec insider breaking rank and Miovski door open
Stade Rennes have reportedly cut their valuation of Kyogo Furuhashi in HALF since his January arrival from Celtic. The striker search is ramping up at Parkhead with with Scottish champions are set to bring in Fulham talent Callum Osmand this summer - and the 19-year-old looks set to be given the chance to stake a first-team claim this summer. Advertisement He will aim to provide competition for Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda next term after Kyogo's departure from Glasgow's east end. READ MORE: Celtic transfer window explodes with five deals in motion from Como 'talks' over Kuhn to £5.1m defender 'offer' READ MORE: Luuk de Jong 'open' to Rangers as mega Igamane transfer faces hijack attempt amid Shankland contract pitch And reports in France have suggest a move back to Celtic Park could be on the cards - and while the 30-year-old has hinted he is ready to fight for his future in Ligue 1 a move to Birmingham City appears to be gathering pace. L' Equipe report that Rennes have placed Kyogo on a seven player list that they would like to move on this summer with his valuation cut to a low £5.1million - almost half of the £10million they forked out to Celtic. Advertisement David Strelec was the subject of a £7.5m offer from the Hoops in January - with the Slovakian champions holding out for £9million. Strelec wrapped up the campaign with a league title and 25 goals to his name and hasn't been shy in opening the door to a Celtic switch. Now the 24-year-old's personal sports development expert Peter Krištofovič lifted the lid on the reaction from Stelec to his failed Slovan exit in January - with Middlesborough also showing an interest at time - as he insists it will only have improved him as a player. He told Dennik Sport : "If someone has a goal to become the best in the world, they adapt everything to that. Then they can overcome obstacles more easily because they keep going their own way.

David Strelec of SK Slovan Bratislava -Credit:"I think this is the key to David's phenomenal success. If he can maintain the right mental attitude even in the moments that seem to hinder his path, he can achieve insanely great things. "Because the path to them is not only through talent, it must be combined with discipline and concentration. "I have my fingers crossed for David and that the failed transfer will give him the right heart. He has what it takes. He is our best striker and he is not even at full strength." Advertisement Bojan Miovski wants to stay and fight for his place at Girona – but Celtic have previously shown interest in the frontman with the La Liga side ready to move on the former Aberdeen man. And the door has been thrown open by sports director Quique Carcel as he criticised the striker's for their form last season - with the North Macedonian netting just two goals last season. He told Spanish media: "I think there have been reinforcements in certain positions that haven't worked out. "For example, I'm not happy with the eight goals the forwards have scored , although we've already had difficulties since pre-season. "The salary of the club will be reduced, and not having finished in a higher position also worsens the budge and makes it difficult to remove high-level earning players."
