This is classic Bulgarian sarrogant behavior in general. They do not want to accept the Macedonian ethnic group because they then have to give the Macedonian people some beneficial rights. Bulgarians are still racist. They do not remember their lives before the entry of the EU. Absolutely Shithole. Money from European projects has helped to change their economic situation. But now they are stonered by what the Macedonians and Albanians are gone. The European Union must show these arrogant people who is the leader when it comes to slowing down financial aid. In a long-running dispute with its southern neighbour Greece, Athens had blocked Skopje`s entry into the bloc.
Athens has contradicted the name of Macedonia, already used by one of its northern regions, but the two sides reached a historic agreement last year that ended the dispute and put the newly renamed Republic of Northern Macedonia within sight of the finish line. Mr. Frckoski argued that it was possible to reach agreement on some of these “ancillary issues.” While in opposition, the ruling New Democracy (EPP) strongly opposed the name change agreement between the left-wing Syriza party and Zaev`s government. But when he took power, the Conservative party said it would implement the Prespa agreement. To the applause of the West, the two neighbouring countries signed a pioneering friendship agreement in 2017 aimed at transforming their long-standing relationship into a close, EU-focused partnership. “It turns out that relations have deteriorated since they [Zaev`s government] signed the agreement [with Bulgaria] [in 2018],” Poposki said. Northern Macedonia officially joined NATO earlier this year and continued its efforts to become an EU member after concluding a pioneering agreement with another neighbour, Greece, that changed its name to Macedonia. But in 2018, Skopje signed another pioneering agreement, the “nominal agreement” with Athens, which saw a change in the country`s name in exchange for the lifting of the neighbouring country`s blockade to NATO and Greece`s accession to the EU. After Northern Macedonia changed its name, thus abandoning all pretensions to the history of ancient Greece under the Prespa agreement, Northern Macedonia is very sensitive to questions of its identity. Despite discussions last month, including Germany, which hopes negotiations with Northern Macedonia can begin, while Berlin will rotate the EU-Ue-Ue by the end of the year, the Balkan neighbours have yet to agree.
Osmani, who visited Bulgaria in early October, said that “we spoke to Sofia about all the issues and the friendship agreement, and noted that there was a difference in the expectations [of the agreement]”. He added that the two countries had agreed to set up working groups of the two foreign ministries to discuss these issues. Bulgaria also requires its neighbour to abandon all allegations that there is a clear Macedonian minority in Bulgaria. It also calls for the adoption of a roadmap for the implementation of a neighbourhood agreement with Bulgaria in 2017 as a precondition for Northern Macedonia`s accession to the EU. Bilateral agreements between Skopje and Sofia were signed stating that they were written in the official languages of both countries. It seems that Bulgaria wants the same regime at EU level. In 2019, Northern Macedonia overst through a major hurdle to EU membership by reaching an agreement with Greece on its official name. Talks on Bulgarian allegations about Macedonia`s historical and linguistic origin have stalled again. “It seems that relations between Sofia and Skopje have never been worse.
Shouldn`t we ask our signatories of this agreement how they managed to get us to a point where Bulgaria is blocking us in the EU? “,” he asked. According to the Greek media, the new democracy cannot find a rapporteur to speak positively about the Prespa agreement, because the political cost will be high. On Tuesday, Bulgaria vetoed the opening of talks on northern Macedonia`s accession to the European Union, citing differences over the interpretation of the
