Zaev expressed hope that Bulgaria will also start building something like the Klepalo border checkpoint or the railway line to the border.

We remind you that on November 17, 202, Bulgaria presented its position to start negotiations with the Republic of Macedonia: we support Albania for the EU, but not Macedonia. The meeting of the General Affairs Council was supposed to take place on December 8, 2020, in which the North Macedonia negotiation process could be decided for the last time this year, but it was canceled.

There is a clause in the Association Agreement between North Macedonia and the EU which states that Skopje must abide by the agreements concluded with the member states and the Treaty of Friendship with Bulgaria, so Sofia does not want anything new. The country vetoed us for bilateral problems.
