The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport of the Republic of North Macedonia, Alexander Nikoloski, believes that the process of constitutional changes in the country and the negotiation framework are the main topic in the Bulgarian media every time there are elections in Bulgaria, the MIA agency reported, quoted by BTA.
He said this after being asked to comment on a statement by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from which they said yesterday that “the authorities in Skopje should be clear that attempts to launch ideas for renegotiation can only lead to an agreement a new distance from the beginning of the negotiations”. The statement of the Bulgarian MFA came on the occasion of the words of the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Hristijan Mitskoski, from earlier that day, that the country wants to unblock the process of European integration and will work committed to this agenda, but on the other side there must be a partner with whom to communicate , stressing that he hopes that after the elections for the Bulgarian parliament on October 27, there will be a regular government with which to find a solution to the decade-long blockade of the European integration of North Macedonia.
„ This is not Bulgaria's policy from yesterday. This is the policy that Bulgaria has been pursuing continuously since 2020. Every time there are elections in Bulgaria, the subject of Macedonia is misused. I don't know when their elections are because they are so dysfunctional that they can't even schedule elections, this is their seventh or eighth caretaker government, they can't find people to go into caretaker governments anymore. So first let them get their affairs in order at home, let them elect a regular government and we will sit down and talk to them. I have no intention of responding to people who are looking for political dividends and are politically marginalized in Bulgaria at the moment, because they are representatives of a government that has no legitimacy from anyone," said Nikoloski, quoted by MIA.
