The MEP from the European People's Party Andrey Kovatchev said that Bulgaria has a broad position, voted by a huge majority in the parliament and it meets the basic European values. The MEP from the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats Petar Vitanov commented that all 17 Bulgarian MEPs had voted on the report on the progress of North Macedonia.
