Bulgaria sees the appointment of Mr. Buckovski as a step in the right direction for Skopje. I confirm the willingness of the Bulgarian side to continue the talks to find the right solutions in our bilateral relations with North Macedonia.
This was stated in a briefing by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ekaterina Zaharieva.
Ekaterina Zaharieva is Deputy Prime Minister of Judicial Reform and Minister of, after meeting with the Special Representative of the Republic of North Macedonia (PCM) for Bulgaria, Professor Vlado Buckovski, former Prime Minister of the CPM, on the first day of his visit to our country.
“Wrong, our position is called a veto. This is a disapproval of the negotiating framework. The fact is that we are at a delicate moment in our relationship. For a year and a half we have been alerting our neighbors about several things: unilateral blockade and suspension of the historical commission of administrative obstacles to Bulgarian business in North Macedonia, accusations that there is a Macedonian minority in Bulgaria, “he revealed.
“However, we have shown that we can work constructively. This happened during the Berlin process. I want to continue in this direction and stop once and for all the manipulative accusations that Bulgaria has vetoed that for us and Albania will not enter” The EU you are challenging someone to self-determine. Today, once again, we are reaching out to North Macedonia and want to develop a relationship based on trust. We need to find a way to do together what remains to be done, “said Zaharieva.
“If you want to be a member of a family, you have to be friends with all the members of that family, not constantly trying to discredit someone from that family. The entire Bulgarian government wants to work together with North Macedonia and make it a member of the great North Macedonia must make it clear that spreading false accusations is not the approach to EU membership, we must start building trust, we must speak more among ourselves and less through the media. In North Macedonia, They build their new national identity solely on anti-Bulgarian rhetoric, where elections are won only on anti-Bulgarian theses and speeches. We just want the neighborhood agreement to be enforced, and today we receive signals from shy Bulgarian citizens who fear their lives. , because there are attempts to deal with them. We need to reduce the emotions and start some normal and constructive negotiations, “concluded Ekaterina Zaharieva.
