North Macedonia’s Foreign Ministry on Friday condemns elections videos aired in Bulgaria that “express territorial claims and one-sided feelings of belonging and appropriation to another neighbouring country.”
“In the attempts of increasing dialogue and strengthening trust, aimed at improving good-neighbourly relations, the publishing of election videos that express territorial claims and one-sided feelings of belonging and appropriation to another neighbouring country is not in the spirit of building friendship and respect for the European values to which we are jointly strongly committed,” the Ministry says in a statement.
The Foreign Ministry says it expects officials in Bulgaria to distance themselves and to condemn the behavior of one of the potential political participants in the highest house of Bulgaria.
