Several European publications have removed the texts of the scandalous Slovenian institute IFIMES, which publishes slanders against Bulgaria, BGNES reported.

The authoritative diplomatic publication diplomatmagazine removed not only the most recent and previous IFIMES texts. In them, Bulgaria and Germany were described as “mafia states that care about Nazism.” The Slovenian Lobby Institute, composed of Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, the International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies IFIMES, has been publishing fierce anti-Bulgarian “analyzes and reports” for two years, mainly intended for dissemination in the western press and form a negative attitude against Bulgaria there.

Due to the scandalous publications, two of the institute’s honorary presidents, former Croatian President Stipe Mesic and Yugoslavia’s last Foreign Minister Budimir Loncar, publicly distanced themselves from the “investigations” and stressed that they were publications in the style of the UDBA: the sinister state security of dictator Tito. .

The institute’s executive directors are Ziyad Bechirovich and Bakhtiyar Aliaf, both advisers to Zoran Zaev, as well as Vlado Dimovski, an economics professor, also an adviser to Zaev in Zaev’s first cabinet, but they continue to cooperate today.

For 2019, Prime Minister Zoran Zaev contracted IFIMES to “collect and process information on conflicts around the world.” The institute will do so until the summer of 2020, which effectively means that the government has paid the Slovenian institute a total of 36,000 euros for three years of cooperation.

Ziad Becirovic is a Bosnian man, according to many media reports, into organized crime, extortion of politicians in Montenegro, ties to radical Islam.

Bakhtiyar Aliaf is an Irishman who graduated from the Yugoslav Communist Party. Ziyad Bechirovich, Bakhtiyar Alyaf and Vlado Dimovski have been advisers since 2017 in Zoran Zaev’s cabinet.
