The members of the association, which has been deleted by the Central Registry of the Republic of North Macedonia, insist on participating in the drafting of the proposal for amendments to North Macedonia’s constitution that would allow the inclusion of Bulgarians in that country‘s supreme law, in line with the commitment made during the negotiations with the EU.
