Bulgarian PM Radev is not interested in meeting with Mickoski. He told Bulgarian media on Thursday he had nothing to discuss with his North Macedonia counterpart since the issue was not bilateral.
Also, Radev leveled serious criticism at the June 15 arson attack on Bulgarian diplomatic vehicles in Skopje. However, as he admitted, over the past year, many European leaders have expressed doubts regarding Bulgaria’s positions, commenting that someone in previous Bulgarian cabinets failed to do their job properly.
