The Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia, Dimitar Kovačevski, and the Foreign Minister of the country, Bujar Osmani, will not attend tomorrow's celebration of the 150th anniversary of Gotse Delchev's birth, BGNES reports.

According to the prelimiary schedule, the event should take place in Skopje together with the Bulgarian delegation led by Foreign Minister Teodora Genchovska.

The official explanation from the North Macedonian authorities is that Dimitar Kovačevski and Bujar Osmani are on an official visit abroad. So far there is no information whether any of them will return earlier to participate in the worship service at the Church of the Sveti Spas, where the tomb of the revolutionary Gotse Delchev is located.

If Kovačevski and Osmani do not respect the event, the Republic of North Macedonia will not have an equal representative of the executive branch as the Bulgarian delegation attending the ceremony.
