Listen to the news

If we see what is happening at the many thousands of rallies in Skopje with chants against Bulgaria, we cannot be very surprised.

This is what the journalist Tony Nikolov said in the program "More of the Day" on BNT on the occasion of last night's football match in Skopje between North Macedonia and Bulgaria, which our national team won, being loudly booed and insulted throughout the match.

The anthem of Bulgaria was also whistled.

All about the topic:

Relations Bulgaria - Republic of Macedonia 688

In this case, politics plays a big role.

The same things have been repeated over the years, and there is hatred for Bulgaria in North Macedonia, Nikolov said.

He also commented on Bulgaria's approval of the so-called

French proposal to start negotiations on the accession of North Macedonia to the European Union. 

The reactions in Skopje: Painful loss, the people wanted us to beat the bad neighbors in something

For Bulgaria, the question was not only of national dignity, but also of a great historical and political gesture.

However, we see that changes to the constitution of North Macedonia will not happen now.

There may be changes in Skopje in 10-15 years, the journalist pointed out.

The people of North Macedonia are encapsulated in their own hatred.

There should be a long-term strategic solution to the issue, there should be a face-to-face meeting.

We won the game last night, but in terms of hate, we won nothing.

Hate must be answered with good and reasonableness, there is no other way.

There should be a consistent policy.

We must want our present in the form of history, Tony Nikolov also said.
