site.btaForeign Ministry Expresses Concern over Igniting of Anti-Bulgarian Sentiments in Republic of North Macedonia

In connection with a series of provocative and malicious anti-Bulgarian comments by politicians and public figures in the Republic of North Macedonia in recent days, the Foreign Ministry in Sofia expresses concern that these lead to a malicious campaign against Bulgaria, aimed at igniting anti-Bulgarian sentiments, reads a position published by the Ministry on Friday.

What's even more concerning is that there are attempts at intentionally taking advantage of the tragic events in Ukraine, resulting from the Russian military aggression, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry said, adding that such cynical insinuations must be categorically dismissed. No one has the right to take advantage of the Ukrainian People's tragedy in such an arrogant and unprincipled manner, the Ministry said.

The Foreign Ministry expressed concern about the possible negative impact such a campaign could have on the positive trends in the political dialogue in recent months.
