Forty-two intellectuals and public figures from Bulgaria and North Macedonia spoke in favor of lifting the veto that Sofia has imposed on Skopje's opening negotiations for EU accession. They announced that they were setting up a network of friendship clubs aimed at "creating an active civic community to work for the bringing together of the two countries on the basis of European values".
