Vice President Iliana Iotova presented Bulgarian identity documents to Hristijan Pendikov at a ceremony at the Presidency.

Pendikov is the secretary of the "Tsar Boris III" association in Ohrid, who was attacked and beaten on 19 January in connection with his activities in the association. The day after, he was transported from North Macedonia on a government Falcon plane for treatment in Bulgaria. He was admitted to the Military Medical Academy, where he was operated on for a broken jaw.
The court proceedings against Ilija Spaseski, Pendikov's alleged attacker, began at the beginning of April and will continue on 31 May.
