“At all European councils – since May, I have spoken with every European leader on the topic of RS Macedonia. I want to thank them, because for the second time the topic is off the agenda. Our partners finally understood where the real problem was. The problem deeply affects the foundation of the EU itself – human rights and non-discrimination. “
This was stated by President Rumen Radev to Bulgarian media in Brussels. The President is in the Belgian capital, where he is taking part in the Sixth Eastern Partnership Summit and the European Council.
Bulgaria did not give in to RS Macedonia
“We will continue to defend not only history,” Radev added, emphasizing that the main priority is to respect the rights of people with Bulgarian identity in RS Macedonia.
“We do not give deadlines. This process is not guided by deadlines, but by results “, stressed Rumen Radev.
Rumen Radev to Charles Michel: The EU must react
According to him, any attempts to put pressure on Bulgaria are counterproductive.
“French President Emanuel Macron clearly knows Bulgaria’s position, so I do not expect pressure. We have a clear agreement. We have to solve energy issues with France “, added Radev.
