Hristiyan Pendikov is still in shock from what happened.

This is what the ambassador of Bulgaria in North Macedonia, Angel Angelov, said in the program "More of the day" on BNT, regarding the beating of the secretary of the cultural club "Tsar Boris Treti" in Ohrid.

For several weeks, we have noticed an increase in verbal tension, there are a number of verbal threats against Bulgarian activists in North Macedonia.

We expected the authorities in North Macedonia to take concrete measures to reduce radicalization.

Unfortunately, this did not happen and it came to this situation, said Angelov.

We, as a country, demand that the prosecution and the court act and that after there is a crime, there should be punishment.

Because otherwise the rule of law does not work, and this is extremely important for a country that wants to be a member of the European Union, emphasized the ambassador.

We will insist on guarantees and defend everyone in North Macedonia who self-identifies as Bulgarian.

We are trying to create an atmosphere in which they feel safer, said Angel Angelov.
