In a parliamentary declaration, the nationalist party Vazrazhdane demanded that Bulgaria’s Foreign Minister Mariya Gabriel summon Germany’s ambassador to Bulgaria for consultations on North Macedonia over the words by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, at a press conference in Berlin with the PM of North Macedonia Dimitar Kovačevski, that Bulgaria must not set down new conditions for Skopje’s European integration. Before that the German Bundestag recognized North Macedonia’s culture, identity and language.

“Bulgaria is not setting any new conditions in the way of North Macedonia’s EU membership,” said President Rumen Radev, and added that Skopje is required to fulfil the commitments it has already assumed, set down in the negotiating framework with the EU. Rumen Radev made this comment at the presentation of a book by Assoc. Prof. Spas Tashev called “The struggles of the Macedonian Bulgarians for rights and independence – 68 case studies from the 1944-1994 period”.
