SDSM and VMRO-DPMNE Still Divided over Bulgaria Issue

SDSM Spokesperson and MP Kostadin Kostadinov says he is always optimistic and hopes there will be a positive outcome on Tuesday when it comes to North Macedonia’s path. According to him, the talks with Bulgaria are underway, despite what VMRO-DPMNE is trying to present. As Kostadinov explains, people should be patient when there are processes of particular importance. “What matters and what the citizens know and what the citizens believe is that the Macedonian identity and language are protected in every manner possible, but we strongly believe in the Republic of North Macedonia’s European future,” the MP stresses. On the other hand, VMRO-DPMNE Spokesperson Naum Stoilkovski urges PM Zoran Zaev not to “even think about” playing games with the identity, language, culture, and history.
