After a note received from North Macedonia over a pre-election video by MEP Angel Dzhambazki, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it considered the video inappropriate. It has been pointed out that the messages in the video do not express the official position of the Bulgarian government. Bulgaria has no territorial claims to other countries and this has been repeatedly declared.
