“There is no change in Bulgaria’s position on the European integration of North Macedonia,” Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodora Genchovska said in an interview for public service TV BNT. She pointed out that no deadline for the start of North Macedonia’s EU accession negotiations was commented during the talks with Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

“No commitments have been assumed by the Bulgarian side for the start of negotiations with Skopje,” Minister Genchovska said. According to Teodora Genchovska, the memorandum from the talks with Annalena Baerbock shows that Bulgaria’s requirements towards Skopje remain unchanged. Sofia is demanding that the rights of Macedonian Bulgarians be guaranteed by the Macedonian constitution, and that the 2017 goodneighbour agreement be observed.
