“Our country has consistently supported the state unity and territorial integrity of the Republic of Macedonia, the Bulgarian Defense Minister said during the talks. "We sincerely hope that the Republic of Macedonia will be able to reach a working solution on the name issue as soon as possible, which will open a new page in NATO and EU relations," the Minister said and stressed that Bulgaria fully supports Macedonia's entry in NATO.

"We are ready to assist in the political and practical aspects in which the country needs additional support," Karakachanov said.

During the meeting, the two ministers discussed the issues of bilateral defense co-operation. Minister Karakachanov stressed that Bulgarian experts could help in drafting a strategic review of the Republic of Macedonia's defense.
