The Prime Minister of North Macedonia Zoran Zaev expects the new Bulgarian government to demonstrate leadership, responsibility and care for the Western Balkans and especially North Macedonia, MIA news agency reports.

However he reiterated that he will not negotiate on issues such as the Macedonian language and identity.
