Minister of Foreign Affairs Georg Georgiev spoke by phone with his counterpart from the Republic of North MacedoniaTimcho Mucunski, officially informing him about the decision of the Bulgarian Parliament adopted on May 30, 2025, on the progress of the Republic of North Macedonia in the process of accession to the EU. 

With it, Bulgaria's National Assembly called on the Republic of North Macedonia to comply with its commitments to respect the rights of Bulgarians there, which should be fulfilled in order for the Republic of North Macedonia to receive the green light for EU membership. 

"A particularly important point is that the text of the Decision of the highest authority in the Bulgarian state reaffirms that Bulgaria has no conditions beyond the elements of the European consensus (from July 2022)," emphasized Minister Georgiev and added that this is also a clear signal of Bulgaria's constructive approach, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
