The Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia, Zoran Zaev, said in an interview with Channel 5 that a solution is possible with Bulgaria by June, so an intergovernmental conference will be held in 2021, MIA reported.
“The Macedonian language and Macedonian identity cannot be put on the table because it is not negotiated anywhere in the world. History cannot and should not be an obstacle, and what matters is the history we write about future generations”, Zaev said. .
Zaev said the question of history could be elegantly resolved by saying that for a period the two countries had a common history. This is the wording of the Cooperation Agreement with Bulgaria and we must stop here, said the Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia, quoted by BTA.
Zoran Zaev added that a solution could be found by June. I feel like we can do that, we can sit down in May and June and find a solution. I really look forward to the first intergovernmental conference this year, which will be followed by a screening and opening of the first chapters, Zaev said.
According to the Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia, the problem with Bulgaria must be resolved bilaterally.
We are the ones who have to solve the problem. Europe is here, our strategic partner the United States is here to give advice and help. We signed the Neighborhood Agreement and the Prespa Agreement through bilateral negotiations, Zaev said. He added that negotiations with Sofia will continue after the April 4 elections in Bulgaria.
