Preparations for the upcoming European Council at the end of June are underway. Ukraine is expected to be one of the topics at the European Council. The European Council is expected to discuss defence support for Kyiv and the use of revenues from blocked Russian assets. "Bulgaria expects the European Council to send a strong message of long-term support during this difficult period for Ukraine. Work should be done on formulating an EU strategy for the Black Sea region, especially in view of the changed situation following Russia's aggression against Ukraine," said Ivan Kondov.
Ivan Kondov emphasized that the European Union should send a strong message to North Macedonia to strictly fulfill its commitments and to undertake the necessary reforms without delay, as the most important condition for the country's European integration.
