In North Macedonia they said: We will not befriend the Bulgarians! – The Balkans

Politicians can be restricted in public, but the public should not be restricted by the fact that Macedonia, apparently due to opposition from Bulgaria, will not receive a date for negotiations and will not become a member of the EU. And we must accept this as soon as possible. We will remain Macedonians, we will speak Macedonian, Gotse will remain ours, but we will not befriend the Bulgarians. There is no need to fake miles when obviously (from the start) the Bulgarians knew what they were preparing for us. This is what Lyubisha Nikolovski wrote in her article in the Macedonian newspaper Sloboden Pechat.

“Therefore, neither Zaev nor Dimitrov should pretend to be great friends of Boyko Borisov and Zaharieva, because they will probably leave the Bulgarian political scene anyway.” But the consequences will remain. So Macedonia is now paying for the mistakes of the EU enlargement in 2007, when it incorporated Bulgaria into its company. But the consequences will be borne by the Union itself, which is apparently in a sense becoming a “captive state” of its own principles and of the whims of Bulgaria, which abuses these principles. The EU now looks like a fragile old woman who can only silently see herself as one of its mischievous members and undermine the principles that have built it for decades. Who will then believe in the Union, which is the basis of the European values ​​from which it is guided, and requires them as a condition of all who want to adhere to it? ”, Also write the publication.

But apparently instead of the fundamental Angela Merkel or the rebel Sarkozy, now the Bulgarian Ekaterina Zaharieva gives lessons according to European criteria. With the veto on Macedonia, Bulgaria places the Union in a servant role, because before that, almost unanimously, everyone agreed to give Macedonia a “pass” in December. Zaharieva, and not only her, Europeanized her personal (Bulgarian) disappointments, putting them on the lap of all those who “pulled” this very Bulgaria from the time when the most inherent criteria in this country were the “three reds”, who Zaharieva probably remembers well. If you forget it again, you will be reminded of a significant number of Macedonians whose last names end in “ov” but who are not Bulgarians. In other words, the criterion of “good neighborly relations” during the admission of new members to the Union based on “a condition without which it is impossible” has become “an ultimatum with which it is possible”. But only one way. Because this criterion is an instrument that can only be used by the Member States and not by the candidate countries for accession to the Union. And countries like Bulgaria can abuse this phrase to the point of denying the entire nation as a condition for membership in the Union. If the EU takes into account such a distortion of the criteria that it has set, then its principles of democracy and freedom of self-determination will be counted in adjecto. So either the entire Union is lying or someone in it is lying, Nikolovski commented in his article, FOCUS reports.

Zaharieva for North Macedonia: they will soon begin to deny the existence of the Bulgarian nation

But perhaps Bulgaria’s behavior is the reason why the EU regrets that it continued with enlargement in 2007, so to stop it, it began to devise and apply increasingly difficult accession criteria and finally, with the French proposal, reconsidering the whole process becomes de facto impossible. From now on, the Europeans stay with Bulgaria, in which they want a “Sarkozy circle”, but cancel the Berlin process, because from tomorrow it will not cost even five dollars. And the Balkans! The Balkans have their disadvantages, but also their advantages. Are we not the gate and the guardian of Europe ?, the Macedonian journalist concludes his comment.
