Relations between North Macedonia and Bulgaria Youth Debated

The young from North Macedonia and Bulgaria, despite sharing same problems and wishes, know and communicate with one another very little, while the political situation and tension between the two countries is an additional problem for them.

That was one of the stands presented at Monday’s debate on joint visions and challenges regarding North Macedonia-Bulgaria relations through the prism of the young, organised by Eurothink in Skopje.

Miroslav Tsekov of Bulgaria’s Youth National Forum stated that it was not true the young were apolitical and not interested in what was going on around them. Maria Kanellopoulou, Head of Economic Issues, Institution Building, and Cross-Border Cooperation at the EU Delegation, stated that people in the region shared the same concerns.
