71.1% of Bulgarians believe that the most important thing is the settlement of North Macedonia’s relations with Bulgaria, and that it does not matter all that much whether North Macedonia will become a member of the EU. 7.5% are of the opposite view, 21.4% say they do not know. The young and different minority groups are more distanced from the issue.

This is indicated by data from an independent survey conducted by Gallup International Balkan sociological agency. The survey was conducted from 25 November until 3 December among 803 adult Bulgarians. According to the same survey conducted a year ago 57.9% of the respondents believed that settling the relations between the two countries was what mattered most.
