Dimitar Talev is one of the most unifying figures between Bulgaria and North Macedonia. We want the Bulgarian state to enter into direct negotiations with the owners of Talev’s house, to buy it and preserve it, Dimitar Panchev, who is an heir to writer Dimitar Talev, said at a news conference in Sofia. He laid emphasis on the connection existing between the famed novel The Iron Oil Lamp and its author’s home in Prilep.. “The house is falling apart,” said the last owner of the house Snezhana Acheska, and added she was sorry EUR 100,000 couldn’t be found to save the house. “It is a site for which European funding can be sought,” said on his part Spas Tashev from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, BGNES news agency reports.
