“Behind the upcoming inauguration of the “Macedonian culture club” in Blagoevgrad is an individual purporting to be a non-existent public organization in the media,” Deputy Foreign Minister in the caretaker cabinet and ministry spokesman Kostadin Kodzhabashev said at a briefing.

“The event is supported by the two main opposition parties in Skopje. It is no secret that they hold anti-European convictions and pursue a policy against the European integration of North Macedonia. Their actions should be seen in the broader context of the interest of third countries which is targeted against the EU and its enlargement,” Deputy Minister Kodzhabashev said.

Zhelyazko Radukov, expert at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on his part stated that the event was financed by Bill Nikolov and his hybrid organization, registered in Toronto. In his words, Bill Nikolov and his organization hold extreme anti-Western beliefs, calling for North Macedonia to leave NATO and not to engage in negotiations with the EU.
