“It is too early to be making an appraisal of the prime minister’s approach to the problem of the Republic of North Macedonia,” commented Hristo Ivanov, co-chair of Democratic Bulgaria, one of the formation which make up the ruling coalition.

According to Hristo Ivanov, Economy Minister Korneliya Ninova’s refusal to go to Skopje is justified, in view of the provocative, as he puts it, meeting President Stevo Pendarovski had with the party OMO Ilinden, which is banned in Bulgaria.

“Democratic Bulgaria believes that we must seize the obvious opportunity for a restart of these relations, seeing as there are new governments in both countries,” Hristo Ivanov said, and added that in this sense the efforts of the prime minister to give an impetus in a positive direction ought to be supported.
