Our interior minister and the head of the DANS could help the process of calming the situation by preventing radical elements serving foreign interests from crossing into the Republic of North Macedonia (RSM).

This is what the former director of the National Intelligence Service, Gen.

Dimo Gyaurov.

All about the topic:

Relations Bulgaria - Republic of Macedonia 827

"The biggest mistake we made was to hold ourselves high. To be silent, to tolerate the whites of the younger brother for 20 years. The time has come to turn the tables. For the last 34 years, Macedonian diplomats have been walking around Europe with a "file" , filled with black paint in relation to Bulgaria. It's time for us to talk about the theft of history and the harassment of Bulgarians in Macedonia," Gyaurov believes. 

Spasovski: The incident with Pendikov is part of the hybrid war and the beaten and the beaters are from the same group

According to him, Brussels does not understand us, and may not believe us.

"We observed a series of rather inadequate actions by the leaders of North Macedonia regarding the Pendikov case, starting with the president. He made a terrible blunder by proposing to declare EP representatives, diplomats and other Bulgarians as persona non grata. Pendarovski seems to did he then distance himself from his proposal. Measures must be taken that are well understood by both Macedonians and Europeans. For years, both in our country and in the RSM, there have been political forces that take advantage of the patriotism of the Bulgarians, they actually defamed the idea of ​​patriotism," he commented. 

According to him, both parties are responsible.

If there is an escalation, neither Bulgaria nor RSM will reap dividends.

Based on the outrage of the people, we will allow a wedge to be driven between us.

We should not expect a radical change from now on.

For the time being, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is acting adequately to the situation.

Stopping intergovernmental projects is beyond the limits of reason," said the general. He added that a referendum to change the political system in our country sounds like a joke to him, because it is illegal, because the National Assembly must prepare a project.

On the topic of sending tanks to Ukraine, Gen.

Gyaurov believes that they will be sent towards the end of the year.

"At least 2-3 months are needed for intensive training, maintenance and repairs must be provided. The purpose of sending tanks is a clear political gesture, showing that Europe is firmly behind Ukraine," Gyaurov pointed out.
