The short meeting between the Bulgarian Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev and the North Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski in the USA excited the anti-Bulgarian centres in Skopje and Belgrade, reported the BGNES correspondent.
The first Macedonian publication "New Macedonia", created in 1945 by the Yugoslav communists, "sensationally" revealed that "Glavchev made a real democratic move by distinguishing the two neighbouring and separate peoples".
"Bulgarian Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, after his meeting with Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, within the framework of the NATO forum in Washington, during his call to reduce tension, made a significant move, openly and clearly distinguishing the two peoples - Macedonian and Bulgarian," wrote "Nova Macedonia" and added a quote from Glavchev: "I talked the most with Mickoski. We were of the same opinion that it should reduce the tension in speaking. There is no tension between the citizens and between the peoples of the two neighbouring countries. Politicians, if they don't help to develop better attitudes, at least don't get in the way."
According to the publication, "This was the most courageous democratic step of a senior statesman from Bulgaria, who recognizes and respects the two separate peoples - the existence of a separate Macedonian national substance - a people that is something completely different from the previous positions of official Sofia".
For the flagship of the 80-year-old anti-Bulgarian campaign in the Republic of North Macedonia, "the position of the person, as well as the place and time in which it was spoken at a high multinational forum, acquires an extremely high specific weight in international law."
Without any surprise, almost instantly, this whole "sensation" was reprinted by the pro-government newspaper in Belgrade, Politika. The publication was titled "Bulgarian Prime Minister Glavchev Made a democratic move and made a difference between the Bulgarian and Macedonian People."
The BGNES correspondent recalls that this is classic proof that the state's anti-Bulgarian /Macedonian/ ideology imposed in Skopje after 1945 served the interests of Greater Serbia, but not those of the Republic of North Macedonia and that there was complete synchronicity between the regime in Skopje and Belgrade when it's about hysteria against Sofia.
Any unprejudiced reader would ask how else should you define the citizens of any country in the world, except as a people. A nation that every Bulgarian politician and citizen respects. /BGNES
