If today's North Macedonia claims to follow the covenants of Gotse Delchev, why doesn't it find the strength to include in its constitution his compatriots, the Bulgarians, in the name of whom he sacrificed his life? This is what President Rumen Radev asked in the town of Gotse Delchev during the celebration of 120 years since the death of the great voivode Gotse Delchev.

Referring to politicians in Skopje, the president said: "Today, anyone who claims to have put Gotse Delchev in the foundations of their statehood should not point out the number of portraits and monuments, but have the strength to follow Gotse Delchev's ideals. May his  beliefs find their uncompromising place in the public life and daily life of the citizens of the Balkans".
