The Bulgarian position on the European integration of the Republic of North Macedonia remains unchanged, Bulgaria's Foreign Ministry announced following the appearance of false reports in the media.

Bulgaria's Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodora Genchovska confirmed this position in her conversation with the German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock during the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg on April 11, the press centre of the ministry announced. For her part, Annalena Baerbock called on Bulgaria to clarify the problematic issues related to Skopje so that North Macedonia and Albania could start membership talks in the first half of the year, BNT reported.

"At a time when Russia is waging a war not only against Ukraine but also a war to divide Europe, it is very important that we continue to support countries that have long seen their future in the EU," she said.
