Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov has not committed to deadlines for lifting the Bulgarian veto for the start of EU accession talks of the Republic of North Macedonia. He said this after his meeting last night in Rome with North Macedonia's Prime Minister Dimitar Kovačevski.
Petkov said he would hold talks with President Rumen Radev and make every effort to convene a National Security Advisory Council to present a report on the progress in bilateral relations over the past six months. "The most important thing for the two governments at the moment is to have a constructive dialogue," Petkov said.
