Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
29 January 2022 News
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses its concern over the recent developments in the Republic of North Macedonia related to the actions of officials that create negative public attitudes and which contradict the positive climate created by the active efforts of the governments of Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
Days after the successful joint meeting of the governments of the two countries, we are once again witnessing an increase in public tensions caused by specific actions of the President of North Macedonia, which attempts to reopen issues that conflict with the Treaty of Friendship, Good-neighbourliness and Cooperation of 2017. Such actions do not contribute to finding solutions to political issues to accelerate the process of European integration of North Macedonia. We call on the responsible authorities in our neighbouring country to show political maturity and to make a constructive contribution to the process of restoring the mutual trust that has already begun.
