Protesters call for good neighbourliness in front of North Macedonian embassy

Protesters held up signs reading “No to hate. We are not enemies” in front of the North Macedonian embassy in Sofia. The action was prompted by setting fire to diplomatic cars in front of the Bulgarian mission in Skopje.

“We want to show what good neighbourliness is. Beating people, destroying cultural clubs and setting cars on fire have no place in the EU,” the protesters said, calling on North Macedonian politicians to stop blocking their country’s European integration.

The protest was held under the slogan “Flower for Friendship.” The demonstrators carried roses, which they placed on the cars of the North Macedonian embassy.  "This rose symbolizes our brotherly attitude towards the people of North Macedonia. It also aims to show the government in Skopje that we are not blind and we know what the goal of Hristijan Mickoski's policy is," Ilija Stojanovski from Skopje told BGNES.
