The political stability of the Republic of Macedonia and the preservation of its territorial integrity are particularly important for Bulgaria, said Minister Daniel Mitov in today’s telephone conversation with his Macedonian counterpart. For his part, Nikola Poposki informed the Bulgarian Foreign Minister about the current situation in the Republic of Macedonia.
Minister Mitov pointed out that the lack of dialogue with the opposition creates a political vacuum that leads to instability and serves elements and groups that aim to destabilize the Republic of Macedonia. The current internal political crisis requires responsible actions by the government in order to restore the public confidence in the work of the institutions, he added.
The Bulgarian Foreign Minister underscored the urgent need to restore the rule of law, which is the sole responsibility of the country’s government and it should guarantee a transparent investigation of the events in accordance with the European standards.
Minister Daniel Mitov emphasized the crucial importance of safeguarding the civil and ethnic peace in the Republic of Macedonia. He assured his Macedonian counterpart that Bulgaria is ready to contribute to this end both bilaterally and within the efforts of the European Union.
Daniel Mitov offered to Nikola Poposki his sincere condolences to the families and relatives of the killed police officers in the Kumanovo operation.
