Genchovska: There are serious differences between Foreign Ministry and PM's foreign policy team on North Macedonia

There are serious differences between the Foreign Ministry and the foreign policy team of Prime Minister Kiril Petkov on the issue of European integration and negotiations with the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM), Bulgaria’s Foreign Minister Teodora Genchovska confirmed on April 15.

She also said that there is no document between North Macedonia and Bulgaria that is a basis for negotiations. Almost nothing of the other four points in the 4+1 protocol has been implemented by Skopje, she explained.

She also clarified that there is no time before the end of the French presidency to open the Constitution of the Republic of North Macedonia in order to include the Bulgarians in it as a state-building people.

“Democratic Bulgaria” co-chairman, Hristo Ivanov, confirmed that there is obviously a structural problem in the coalition and there can be no change on the North Macedonia issue without a decision of the Parliament. The misunderstanding between two ambitious ladies from two different ministries, according to him, should not be transferred to the position of RNM.
