The Neighborhood and Friendship Agreement between the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria should be ratified by the parliaments of both countries as soon as possible. That is what Vice President Iliana Yotova said at a meeting in Skopje with Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev.

Macedonian Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi has told Yotova that ratification will be delayed due to opposition boycott of plenary sessions but it would happen by the end of January.
