On Friday, Bulgaria’s caretaker PM, Dimitar Glavchev, warned that the “tone” being used by North Macedonia would not help it join the EU.
Simply put, he added, the western neighbour should meet EU requirements. According to him, Bulgaria has made enough compromises over national identity.
“We support enlargement and the Western Balkan countries’ European perspectives,” Glavchev noted. In North Macedonia, SDSM urged de-escalation of the Skopje-Sofia relations.
