We will have the same spirit of good neighborliness, openness and the same desire to find solutions and move forward. If there is half of that spirit on the Bulgarian side, as we see these days, it is possible to see a turnaround. Definitely a new approach will be useful for us and for them, said today the Minister of Defense Radmila Sekerinska, after the final conference of the group for military integration of the Republic of Northern Macedonia in NATO.
“The statements made in the past period and the result of the Bulgarian elections are encouraging, because, as she said, Bulgaria has found itself in a situation not to block us and Albania, but in some way to block itself as well,” she said.
– Those words seem encouraging, of course it is just an announcement. We support that call for a new spirit, for a new type of dialogue in which we will try not to find fault or reason to block the neighbor, but to find what we can both gain from greater cooperation, said Minister Sekerinska.
She referred to the comment that from Sofia to get to Skopje by plane you have to go through Vienna, emphasizing that this is a specific issue for which we need to spend much more energy than for the issues that, she underlined, take us a lot of time. , almost a whole year of our bilateral cooperation.
