The chairperson of the Bulgarian Cultural Centre "Tsar Boris III" in Ohrid, Tome Blazeski, was summoned by the Prosecutor's Office in Ohrid. On April 28, 2023, he will be interrogated for "desecrating" the Macedonian honour, BGNES reported.

At the beginning of April, the "Tsar Boris III" Cultural Club in Ohrid was deleted from the Central Register of the Republic of North Macedonia following a decision of the Ministry of Justice and the negative opinion of the Commission on the use of names of historical figures.

There was a shooting attack on the cultural club. Fortunately, no one was reported injured, but the perpetrators of the attack are not being wanted. On January 19, 2023, the Secretary of the Bulgarian Cultiral Club "Tsar Boris III", Hristian Pendikov, was badly beaten in Ohrid.
