Members of the Bulgarian community in North Macedonia met with Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivan Kondov at the Bulgarian Cultural and Information Center in Skopje, reported BTA.

 "We signed a Friendship and Good-Neighbourliness Agreement with North Macedonia and were optimistic that integration and good-neighbourly relations would continue, but we faced a different reality. After long negotiations and with the understanding of France as holder of the EU Presidency in 2022, a European negotiation framework for North Macedonia emerged, according to which Bulgarians were to be included in the country's constitution. Unfortunately, this has not happened yet. The Bulgarian position will not change, and North Macedonia must honour its commitments and fulfill the agreements that have been signed. We cannot move forward if you are not treated as any other EU citizens, who have equal rights", Ivan Kondov said.
