Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva said on Friday that the recent visit of Macedonia’s Premier Zoran Zaev to Sofia was historical and that she couldn’t understand the negative media publications against Premier Zaev in neighboring Macedonia. The agreement between the Premiers of Bulgaria and Macedonia that the two countries should celebrate together common historical events is an example of European approach. Bulgaria was the first country to recognize the Republic of Macedonia by its constitutional name and the agreement on good neighbor relations which will be signed soon is based on the joint Bulgaria-Macedonia declaration of 1999, Deputy Premier Zaharieva pointed out. In that relation Minister Zaharieva warned that playing to nationalist sentiment would not lead to anything good.
