Bulgaria has no intention to lead new negotiations regarding the content in the Agreement for good neighborly relations with Macedonia, said the VP and head of the Bulgarian diplomacy, Ekaterina Zaharieva, who also stated that the text has been finalized.
-The Agreement represents a new page in the relations between the two countries but after its signing, there is a lot to be done. The Agreement will be signed in Macedonian language, according to the Constitution of Republic of Macedonia and in Bulgarian, according to the Constitution of Republic National of Bulgaria – said Zaharieva in an interview for the “Bulgarian National Television.” (BNT)
Zaharieva stated that the Agreement is based on the Declaration dated from 1999 and that it has mechanisms for monitoring its application. She stressed that an expert Commission will work on the improvement of the curriculums on basis of legitimate historical sources.
Regarding the requests issued by the opposition party, VMRO-DPMNE to recognize the existence of the Macedonian minority in Bulgaria, she stressed that Bulgaria does not negotiate with political parties but with the government.
-The representatives in Skopje will have to decide whether they will continue being isolated from its neighbors and the world, thinking about its grandness or they want to have a European perspective and development – said Zaharieva.
