The caretaker foreign minister was in Brussels, where he was attending a meeting of NATO foreign ministers.

Milkov had talks with the Foreign Minister of north Macedonia, Bujar Osmani, yesterday and hopes North Macedonia will respond to Bulgaria’s desire to participate in the constitutional change process.

The foreign minister specified that new contacts are forthcoming in an effort to reduce tensions, but without harming the rights of the Bulgarians in North Macedonia.
