Radev tells Zaev “Upper” and “North” Macedonia not acceptable for Bulgaria

Bulgaria does not accept the names Upper or Northern Macedonia that are geographically qualified, which, according to Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, will be at the expense of Bulgaria.

Bulgarian President Radev said at today’s press conference that Bulgaria does not want to interfere in resolving the dispute, but it should be noted that Bulgaria is concerned and influenced by the issue.

Zoran Zaev, from the press conference with EU Ambassador Samuel Zbogar, said ten days ago that he was ready for a geographical determinant.

For now, Radev explicitly says that Bulgaria disagrees with a geographical determinant such as Upper or North. This puts Zoran Zaev in a bind, remaining with proposals such as New Macedonia or the Republic of Macedonia (Skopje).

On the other hand, information about the course of the negotiations are published daily on what the Greek red lines are, that is, Greece insists on constitutional changes in Macedonia. This contradicts the statements of SDSM and Zoran Zaev that there are no negotiations on changes in the Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia.

This is confirmed in today’s announcement by the Greek Academy of Sciences and Arts, which stressed that constitutional changes are necessary as a prerequisite for reaching an agreement.

    Yes, it is the same level of betrayal. How the hell does Greece determine what our name should be? Where else in the world has this level of political offensiveness occurred? What use is the United Nations? Our country is under siege from traitors within and blatant aggression from the Greeks. Enough of this filth! It must stop NOW!!!!!!

      I agree with your Bulgarian brothers, FYROM should not have a geographical elements such as North because it implies that there is a south. The only solution if for FYROM to use the name “Vardaska” as they did before, or “Vardar Monkeydonkeys” as a last resource.. There is only one Macedonia and it is Greek, not some Slavic/Bulgarian/Albanian nation like FYROM!!!!!

        Back to the pontus, Turk. Maybe you can make some doner kebabs with your long lost cousins deniz and demir somewhere in your ancestral home of Turkmenistan.

        You’re not even European, and you claim to be Macedonian. An absolute circus your $400 billion dollar bankrupt state is. Bye bye, grease.

    Does Macedonia really want to get into the EU and NATO? This name change is being done for that, but Macedonia will then be part of the anti-Russian team.

    The irony is, if Macedonia changes its name it will not enter EU/Nato.
    Xyz will enter EU/Nato.
    We do not need to change the name, we won the Hague process and Greece agreed.
    It is not required to change our name, it is something we are doing onto ourselves. Since Greece already agree per the accord, we should end this “negotiation” and enter as Macedonia.

  • V.M.

    Brussels has already made it known, repeatedly, that Macedonia will not enter the EU, no matter how many times we change the name. Only Serbia and Montenegro are “potential candidates” for the EU in 2025.
