We are working on the open issues so that North Macedonia continues its path to the EU. But we are also fighting to preserve the rights of people with Bulgarian self-awareness, to guarantee the Bulgarian national interest, caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikolay Milkov said at a briefing.

Speaking about the recent attacks on Bulgarian culture clubs in North Macedonia, the diplomat pointed out that many people in North Macedonia are brought up in an anti-Bulgarian atmosphere and the task of the non-working commission on historical disputes is to overcome the differences on both sides of the border.

In the European Commission's report on the integration of Skopje, not all Bulgarian comments were taken into account. For us, this is a red light that shows that we must continue to clarify our positions in Europe, Milkov added.
