Today she is to hold talks with the local authorities in Strumica and Novo Selo, tomorrow she will be in Skopje. Tonight Zaharieva is going to meet with Prime Minister Zoran Zaev 

The visit is taking place immediately prior to the forthcoming signing of the agreement between Athens and Skopje on the name of Macedonia, and just one day after Prime Minister Boyko Borissov cancelled his meeting with Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov in Sofia after tensions arose between him and Prime Minister Zoran Zaev over the accords with Greece on the new name North Macedonia.
