The ambassador of North Macedonia was summoned to the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The systematic provocations by the Republic of North Macedonia are further distancing it from starting negotiations with the EU.

Today, the ambassador of the Republic of North Macedonia in Sofia, Agneza Rusi-Popovska, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry to receive a sharp protest, BGNES reports.

The reaction was prompted by the press conference of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Aleksandar Nikoloski on 29 August 2024.

On the Bulgarian side, the consistent position regarding Skopje's European perspective was reaffirmed.

It was noted with regret that the systematic provocations and the refusal to implement commitments made by officials of the neighboring country are further distancing it from entering into negotiations with the EU. The current and any future cabinet will continue the natural line of Bulgarian foreign policy towards the Republic of North Macedonia, aimed at guaranteeing human rights and respecting the principles of good neighborliness. | BGNES
