All about the topic:

Relations Bulgaria - Republic of Macedonia 683

On the agenda of the meeting of the historical commission were history textbooks, which affect the period of the Middle Ages in Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia, and the possible general celebration of Gotse Delchev.

"Again, nothing happened. This is an interesting and important signal about the overall attitudes, but above all about the atmosphere in which our commission works at the 20th consecutive meeting. I can safely say that there is no readiness for any change," he said in " The day begins" Prof. Angel Dimitrov - co-chairman of the Joint Commission on Historical Issues.

The meeting was held at a time when the opposition VMRO - DPMNE has once again called for a referendum to discuss or outright reject the friendship and good neighborliness agreement with Bulgaria, noted Prof. Dimitrov.

Some of his Macedonian colleagues have quite openly stated that they are subjected to threats and pressure if they change anything in their position.

"This does not mean that they are ready to do it, but we are talking about the public atmosphere and this clearly suggests what is happening in the Republic of North Macedonia," commented the co-chairman of the Joint Commission on Historical Affairs.
