The foreign ministers of Bulgaria and North Macedonia will visit the beaten Hristiyan Pendikov in the Military Medical Academy

The foreign ministers of Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia - Nikolay Milkov and Bujar Osmani, will visit the beaten secretary of the Bulgarian cultural club in Ohrid, Hristiyan Pendikov, at the MMA.

The young man remains in a serious but stable condition after three people attacked him outside a restaurant in the city on Thursday.

According to information from Skopje, all three have been detained, but the prosecutor's office is investigating only one of them.

Yesterday, Hristiyan's friends stated that they are afraid to talk about the case, as there are serious anti-Bulgarian sentiments in Ohrid.

In our country, a rally was held in front of the Representation of the European Commission with a demand for harsh punishments for the perpetrators and for the termination of negotiations on European membership of North Macedonia.
