The Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ivica Dacic, was outraged by Bulgaria’s refusal to “recognize the existence of a Serbian national minority” in our country, reported a BGNES reporter.
In the morning block “Novo Yutro”, Dacic, who is the closest politician to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, also got angry at the fact that “Bulgaria does not recognize national minorities”.
“Bulgaria does not recognize national minorities, but on the other hand it protests so much about the bad situation of Bulgarians in Serbia. And this is already true… But when we tell them, and the Serbs in Bulgaria, then they answer: there are no Serbs in Bulgaria. Ah, that means we say there are no Bulgarians in Serbia. Then there are no problems with the Bulgarian national minority,” said Dacic, who was former Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic’s right-hand man and his official spokesman.
According to Dacic, “wherever there are different ethnicities, there are wars, conflicts and crises”.
This is not the first provocation regarding Bulgaria by Dacic. At the beginning of January 2020, in front of the state television Dacic, during a commentary on the relations with Montenegro, he suddenly with great aggression stated the following: “What kind of internal affairs are being talked about in the European Union today. There you have some Bulgarians who are only in Serbia 0.26 per cent of our population. That’s how many Bulgarians there are in Serbia. But, at every meeting of the European Council, Bulgaria raises the question of the rights of the Bulgarian national minority?”
BGNES recalled that in just a few decades the Bulgarian minority in the Western outskirts was literally destroyed. From over 120,000 people before, it now numbers about 20,000, and lives in utter misery.
