Prime Minister Boyko Borissov argued in absentia over North Macedonia with the authors of the song “Crown, bye”, which gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, actor Dragan Spasov-Dats and composer Alexander Mitevski, who are Macedonians, addressed Borisov publicly on Facebook, recalling that the two countries were “first neighbors” who were close relatives.
Bulgaria has effectively blocked the start of EU talks with North Macedonia over bilateral disputes. Bulgaria rejects allegations that it has vetoed it, but as a result, the issue was removed from the agenda of the General Affairs Council meeting earlier this month, where the negotiating framework for North Macedonia will be discussed. and Albania.
“Mr. Borissov, our first neighbor is like a relative. You will ask him for help at any time, and he does the same when he needs something. He needs sugar, flour, bread, tongs, help, move something … here is the first neighbor. We are cordial people, full of love, who know how to love when we love them. There are others, but there are everywhere. It is easy to hate, it is difficult to love, because love and friendship seek understanding, and we must understand each other ” , the artists write in their publication with Borisov.
They recall that in the summer, Borisov posted a video on his Facebook account of driving a company jeep and listening to his song “Crown, bye.” According to the musicians, “our two languages are similar and from there you listened to our processing without any problem”. Then again on Facebook, Dragan Spasov-Dats and Alexander Mitevski especially thanked Borisov for listening to the song in his car.
A North Macedonian version of the melody “Bella, bye” became very popular after the first wave of the pandemic. The music used is from the famous Italian song during World War II, which became a resistance song against the fascist dictatorship.
Shortly after the artists’ speech, Borissov’s answer came.
“In these difficult times, it is important to support each other. As we have always done with our first and closest neighbor over the years! And precisely because we are the closest, we must not allow ourselves to get away. The friendship between us is strong. And the strongest relationships are the most emotional, but that doesn’t mean we have to break our promises and take offense. As friends, we have to be honest with each other. This is how we move forward. If we are stubborn, the problems will remain. “The solution is dialogue, solidarity, understanding. We are ready to help. We want to see the same in our neighbors and friends,” he wrote.
