Slovak Ambassador Vasil Grivna was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over official statements made by Slovak President Peter Pellegrini during his visit to Skopje on October 14. There were unacceptable assessments made regarding the European integration process of North Macedonia, the ministry announced.
Director General for European Affairs Yordan Parvanov expressed “the Bulgarian side’s deep bewilderment at the positions of President Pellegrini, which in practice challenge the validity of the European Consensus of July 2022, adopted by all EU member states, including Slovakia,” the ministry said.
"We are deeply disappointed that a partner country allows itself to encourage the counter-productive rhetoric of the government in North Macedonia, which is persistently looking for someone to blame for the lack of progress in the European integration process. Such a position is not in the interest of the EU's strategic vision for the region or the citizens of this candidate country," Parvanov said.
