• Bulgaria urges North Macedonia to fulfil its commitments

“Bulgaria has a clearly stated position which, since 2022 is no longer a bilateral issue but a matter of discussion between the EU and a candidate country. Today, this position was reaffirmed. I am glad that this is one of the positions on which we have a very broad political consensus in Bulgaria. I also told this to our partners from North Macedonia”, BTA reported.
