Revival Leader Kostadinov’s Comments Condemned in North Macedonia

SDSM leader Venko Filipce has criticised Revival leader Kostadin Kostadinov comments on North Macedonia, describing them as irredentist.

As he said in a social post on Thursday, authorities in Sofia should distance themselves from the Bulgarian politician’s stand, while the EU should condemn it.

Several hours later, North Macedonia’s Foreign Ministry, too, reacted, saying it condemned such malicious comments that expressed clear territorial aspirations represented a direct attack on the country’s sovereignty, independence, and integrity. It too expects authorities in Sofia to refute it.
