Hristiyan Pendikov and other Macedonian Bulgarians he knows, continue to receive threats in North Macedonia, the young man has told bTV. He has been assigned round-the-clock police protection.

 "I receive threats that they would come to Bulgaria as well, that they would kill me. They sent me a photo of a weapon and things like that," the secretary of the Bulgarian cultural club "Tsar Boris III" in Ohrid said. After he was attacked and beaten in his hometown by sympathizers of the VMRO-DPMNE party, he was brought to Bulgaria for medical treatment. The young man reported that threats were also directed at his mother. He says he has applied for Bulgarian citizenship and plans to study in Bulgaria, but dreams that one day he would be able to return to North Macedonia.
