Soon there will be no significant change in the position of Skopje on the issues raised by Bulgaria, Assoc. Prof. Milen Mihov, Deputy Chairman of VMRO, said in an interview for the BNR. 
"Anti-Bulgarian hysteria is expected. It must prevent serious issues from being raised in Macedonian society. Skopje will undertake a powerful and well-coordinated campaign in Europe and the United States to discredit Bulgaria, so a proactive response from Bulgarian factors is needed," Mihov urged.
In an interview for Bulgaria On Air TV, Mihov said that Skopje had unilaterally stopped the work on the European Corridor №8, despite the secured EU funding, because the North Macedonian authorities believed that the transport connection would strengthen the Bulgarian influence.
