By the end of the month, Sofia and Skopje are to hold consultations on the pending consular problems which Bulgaria is still encountering in its relations with North Macedonia, Deputy Foreign Minister Kostadin Kodzhabashev has announced.

“The violation of the rights of Bulgarians, whether citizens of Bulgaria or of another country, is absolutely inadmissible and we shall make use of all available means, our entire resource, to counter such actions which bear every sign of a systemic and deliberate policy,” Deputy Foreign Minister Kodzhabashev said.

The Foreign Minister of North Macedonia Bujar Osmani has asked for a meeting with representatives of Macedonian Bulgarians, BGNES news agency reports.
