Sofia reacts to banners carried at Skopje protests in note to MFA
Sofia, 12 July 2022 (MIA) - Bulgaria has sent a note to North Macedonia's Foreign Ministry (MFA) reacting to the many slogans and banners displayed publicly against Bulgaria in recent days. The note expresses "deep concerns over what is happening as regards the spreading of anti-European narrative against the establishment of good neighborly relations between the two countries," MIA's Sofia correspondent reports. "What is concerning is that malicious acts in the public have escalated at a time when Sofia and Skopje are actively seeking a path toward constructive dialogue and a permanent mutually acceptable solution in the interest of the European integration of the Republic of North Macedonia and the region," reads the note. The document expresses assurance that such events will become a thing of the past and that the two countries will manage to open a new page in their relations, based on mutual respect and sincere friendship.
