Macedonian Bulgarians

The Macedonian border police did not allow the entry into the country of the Bulgarian MEP from GERB Andrey Kovachev, the deputy chairman of the EPP, Milen Vrabevski, as well as three other Bulgarians. All of them, as every year on May 6, traveled to participate in the memorial service at the Bulgarian military cemetery in Novo Selo, Strumica.

Bulgaria marks 120 years since the death of the great Bulgarian revolutionary Gotse Delchev. His memory will be honored with various events in the country. President Rumen Radev will participate in the celebrations in the town of Gotse Delchev.

"Democracy and a developed society are unthinkable in the absence of social justice" - this is what President Rumen Radev wrote on Facebook on the occasion of International Labor Day.

"There are 3,500 Bulgarians in North Macedonia" - this is what the Minister of Foreign Affairs of RNM, Bujar Osmani, told the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament. EPP MEP Andrey Kovachev objected to these numbers. The Bulgarian MEPs again raised the issue of mistreatment of our compatriots in the Balkan country.

If wholesale prices go up, Bulgaria is ready to allow imports from Ukraine again. This was stated by the Minister of Economy Nikola Stoyanov in the morning block of Nova TV.

"We count on the Bulgarian farmers and producers to understand that we are doing it for them and we count on their loyalty not to use the moment for speculation," he added.

President Rumen Radev commented on the statement of his Macedonian colleague Stevo Pendarovski that there is a lack of dialogue between the two countries. Over the past 10 years, I have invited the president of North Macedonia to visit Bulgaria at least ten times, Radev reminded:

Atanasov, who is 33, had spent two and a half years working for a foreign oil and gas company, a job that saw him spending more time in Africa than at home. When a friend died of malaria, he decided enough was enough.

As North Macedonia gears up for an important constitutional change, to include Bulgarians in the preamble as a constitutive people and so avoid repeated Bulgarian EU blockades, it has condemned a Bulgarian request to be "included" in the process as "scandalous".

Bulgarians in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore have already voted in the early Bulgarian parliamentary elections, the spokesperson of the Central Election Commission, Rositsa Mateva said.

Ten days after closing down the "Ivan Mihailov" Bulgarian Club in Bitola, the Minister of Justice of the Republic of North Macedonia issued an order for the closing of the "Tsar Boris III" Bulgarian Club in Ohrid, reports BGNES.
