We categorically refuse to engage in such a non-European and incompatible tone. Our partners have been notified of the unprovoked provocations, aimed including at disrupting the dialogue.
This was stated by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the occasion of an interview with the Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister, who made a provocative statement towards Bulgaria due to the absence of the country's flag during the informal talks between Presidents Radev and Siljanovska-Davkova.
The Prime Minister's right-hand man, Hristiyan Mitskoski, announced that Bulgarians and Macedonians have no common history or common roots. Alexander Nikoloski used expressions such as "uncivilized" and "miserable".
Our diplomatic department once again recalled the key importance of the development of good neighborly relations for the European future of the Republic of North Macedonia.
