Bulgarians in Macedonia are not free citizen, says the president of the Bulgarian Cultural Club – Skopje, Lazar Mladenov, in an interview for the Bulgarian daily “Trud”.
– The prosecution is an integral part of the Bulgarian national idea. You cannot be a Bulgarian from Macedonia and a free citizen simultaneously – said Mladenov.
In the interview, BKKS President revealed that he constantly receives threats to his life.
– The threats are part of our everyday lives, starting with those for liquidation after the assassination of Gligorov, to those from few days ago, that I will go to prison – Mladenov said, and also added that their activists, including his wife, were fired because they consider themselves as Bulgarian.
Mladenov reveals that the whole situation was reported to the EU rapporteur for Macedonia, Richard Howitt, who received a comprehensive report on all registered cases of abuse of Bulgarians in Macedonia. However, according to BKKS President, most cases are not officialy reported, because people are afraid from the Government.
