The basis of our identity is our language, then history, our common history with our compatriots.This was stated by the President of the Republic of Macedonia, Stevo Pendarovski, in an interview with euobserver.com and stressed that language and identity cannot be discussed.

It is no secret that there was a codification of the Macedonian language in 1945. (later the rules for the Macedonian language were written), but it is a similar language, very close to Bulgarian, but not Bulgarian, says Pendarovski.

The Macedonian president considers the claim that the history of Macedonia up to 1945, the entire 10 centuries, is nonsense (nonsense) is the history of Bulgaria..

“They say ethnic Macedonians really exist … But we woke up one morning in 1944 and said, “Aha! We are really ethnic Macedonian now, but yesterday we were ethnic Bulgarian.“Pendarovski said.

There was no way we could allow that

According to him, this was absolute historical nonsense. No matter what Bulgaria thought on this issue, if Sofia did not block them for the start of the EU negotiations, Macedonia did not formally accept their views.

For the Bulgarian position that “The Macedonian language and identity did not exist until September 2, 1944. and that the creation of this nation is part of the general formation of a separate non-Bulgarian identity to break the ties between the local population and Bulgaria ”. Pendarovski believes that they cannot accept a discussion about these events and they were insane.
