There is hardly a conflict in the region that does not go beyond the territory of the specific country, the special coordinator of the UN for the Middle East peace process Nikolay Mladenov has told BNT.

They must be resolved in favor of people who want efficient institutions and a functioning economy, the former Bulgarian foreign minister said.
