Hristiyan Mitskoski on the dispute with Bulgaria: Great national betrayals have been committed

Great national betrayals have been committed betrayals. But we will deal with these problems with dignity and build principled relations between equal partners, not between masters and subjects. This was emphasized in his speech about Ilinden by the Prime Minister of our south-western neighbor, Hristiyan Mickoski, reports the Skopje publication "Kurir".

And no matter how many times and in whatever form they ask the question about Bulgaria, the answer will always be the same. We are for a dignified solution and we want a solution, but not at the cost of our identity and trampled dignity. At the same time, our commitment to membership in the European Union is unquestionable, as is our commitment to fulfilling the criteria. And we do this not to please someone from the outside, but to help ourselves from the inside. But it is also inevitable to note that this process takes too much time, with too many obstacles, stumbling blocks and demands that are not always reasonable, but rather political. We will have a dialogue, but with a little bitterness we will remember that countries that have done much less than us, but had no political obstacles in this regard, are now equal members of the European family. This integration process should be a two-way street where our voice will be heard. And I believe in decisions dictated by reason, not by force," said the Prime Minister of North Macedonia.
