“I fear that the situation is blocked, both with regard to the candidacy of the Republic of North Macedonia (PCM) and, unfortunately, Albania, as well as with regard to bilateral relationswhich is a negative element. “
This was commented by the former deputy minister and director of the Institute of Economy and International Relations Lyubomir Kyuchukov before the Bulgarian National Radio before the next meeting of the prime ministers of Bulgaria and North Macedonia, Boyko Borisov and Zoran Zaev.
“I am skeptical of the very idea of blocking North Macedonia’s negotiations with the EU, because works completely in favor of Macedonian and generates very serious anti-Bulgarian sentiments in our neighbor and puts Bulgaria in international isolation – within the European Union and in the region, “Kyuchukov said.
Karakachanov wants a written guarantee from RS Macedonia that they have no claims and that everything will be fine.
In Skopje they underestimated the situation that Bulgaria, as always, will give in, but it doesn’t, they don’t share our good intentions
According to him, Bulgaria is compromising our own priority during the presidency of the EU Council for the accession of the Western Balkans. According to the diploma, there is no understanding in bilateral relations because they are a function of political discourse.
“Now dialogue at the diplomatic level is also extremely difficult“Kyuchukov said.
The diplomat explained why North Macedonia’s agreements with Greece and Bulgaria are radically different. “Greece is trying to show that it has nothing in common with PCM, and we are trying to show that we have everything in commonSo with us it is a matter of process, because it is about people’s minds, ”said the former vice chancellor.

According to Kyuchukov, the contract is good. He provides the basis, because without him Bulgaria would not even have the opportunity to raise the issue in the EU, said the diplomat.
Voyn Bozhinov: It is possible that the new US administration will pressure us for the country of Macedonia
How can the government preserve our national identity in the face of an ideology?
We remind you that the multidisciplinary joint commission of experts on historical and educational issues of Bulgaria and North Macedonia was established as a result of the Treaty of Friendship, Good Neighbor and Cooperation between the Republic of Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia, signed on August 1, 2017 and which came into effect on February 14. 2018
The commission’s first meeting made little progress on Antiquity and the Middle Ages, but no agreement was reached on the Gotse Delchev issue.
The stumbling block in the work of the experts is precisely the personality of Gotse Delchev. The Bulgarian side of the commission refused to accept the two countries together to celebrate the party of the legendary figure and ideologue of IMRO on October 7, when his bones were delivered to Skopje by Georgi Dimitrov.
In early October, Bulgaria established the conditions for North Macedonia to receive our support for membership of the EU. One of them is North Macedonia to achieve concrete results on the subject of important events and historical figures in our common history: Gotse Delchev, Ilinden-Preobrazhensko uprising and others.
Following the September 13 meeting, which has been described as “the most unsuccessful” to date, President Rumen Radev called an urgent consultative meeting, in which he insisted that boundaries be drawn for North Macedonia.
On May 2, 2020, it became clear that Macedonia had unilaterally ended the talks on our common history.
After a pause on October 16, 2020, the Bulgarian-Macedonian Joint Commission for Historical Affairs has made progress in developing a common position on the May 24 issue, the writing and work of Saints Brothers Cyril and Methodius. This is the only one of the 14 history textbook-related notes that has progressed.
