“The vision of history does not interfere with the present and the future, insofar as it is not a dispute, it is not a question of insistence, it is not an artificial claim., and it’s a matter of extremely clear historical fact and I’d say 100 percent verifiable. This is what historian Prof. Petar Stojanovic told BTV on the issue of relations between Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
“This is not a sudden dispute between the two countries about whether there was genocide here and there, where the border crosses, etc. This is something that has to do with centuries of history studied by dozens, not to mention hundreds, historians and other extremely serious scientists.“Stojanovic said.
According to him, this is a natural course of events for one a completely historically randomized state and indeed a newly invented nation and language, and everything else.

VMRO-DPMNE insists that these issues be seriously discussed
“It is natural, in my opinion, to get to this point, because, If at this time Skopje, regardless of who is in power there, takes a different position, they will defeat him first, depending on whether he is in power or in opposition, and second he never he will no longer be able to stand in any way before or in front of his compatriots due to the fact that he is obliged to reproduce this myth: the myth of the Macedonian state, the Macedonian nation, the Macedonian language, etc. ”, Professor Stojanovic is categorical.
According to, if Bulgaria were the country next to the name, maybe a long time ago this neighboring country would have had another name and it would go on its way without problems.

Mass culture of hatred towards neighbors …
The historian regrets that our country is not Greece, in the sense of his own statehood, defense of national interests and coherence, we cannot achieve them until now.
According to Greece has had a very clear policy since the late 19th century on how to turn things around in the Balkans. and gradually through wars, through alliances, through concessions, through great patience and national financing, of course, it manages to reach the maximum.
“It just came to our knowledge then not from Belgrade, not from Athens, not from Skopje someone somehow to give us, pat us on the shoulder of a sympathy and to recognize something that, proven or not, is immanently Bulgarian“, Stojanovic is categorical.
Borissov doesn’t want history to be a broken bridge to the EU for Macedonia
There should be no police games, warns Prime Minister
Everything is done with a lot of effort, he explained. Nobody has given anything to anyone and much less this will happen with today’s dispute between Sofia and SkopjeAs Bulgaria, which accidentally became a member of the EU a few years ago, may finally have the right to behave as an egalitarian European state.
He hopes that the Bulgarian rulers and the opposition will have a united position on the issue. It has always been and will continue to be, it is not scary. It is much more convenient when in a government instrument one plays the good cop and the other the bad cop. When one pushes a more militant cause and another defends it more gently, but it is it is very wrong to leave state politics with one or more speakers in the style of Minister Karakachanov, because in this way it is shown that a part of the nation, a part of the political elite, a part of the Bulgarians want this extreme assumption, and the rest are very good and obedient servants of God and they wait to see what Brussels will say, Pedro is categorical Stojanovic.
The October 2019 European Council did not agree on a date for the start of negotiations on the accession of North Macedonia and Albania to the European Union.
Before that, there was a meeting of the Joint Bulgarian-Macedonian Commission for Historical Affairs, defined as “the most unsuccessful”, as it again failed to reach unanimity on the issue with Gotse Delchev. The negotiations on the common history of Bulgaria and Macedonia had already started to falter, and for almost a year the talks came to a complete halt with a discussion about the political situation in the neighboring country and the change of governments. Last week, at the meeting of Ekaterina Zaharieva and her colleague Buyar Osmani, it was announced that the commission would resume work.
Months earlier, Deputy Prime Minister and IMRO Leader Krassimir Karakachanov was the first to say that the commission to solve problems on common history with Macedonia was not working, called for a firm stance on Bulgaria’s neighbor and even hinted that IMRO could resign. According to him, Macedonia only uses Bulgaria to be a member of the EU and NATO.
During consultations with the head of state, Rumen Radev’s position that support for North Macedonia should not be unconditional also became clear on the Macedonian issue.
The Bulgarian-Macedonian commission meeting on October 16 advanced into the May 24 celebrations.
