“North Macedonia’s membership of the EU is of paramount importance to the region and Bulgaria has always supported it but we must have clear guarantees that the unity of the Bulgarian nation and cultural heritage will never be called into question.

President Radev announced he would be discussing the matter with his German counterpart today, BGNES reports.
