An office of the association for culture, education, and tradition "Balkan Bridge" was opened in Bitola in the presence of Bulgarian Ambassador to North Macedonia Zhelyazko Radukov, Bulgarian Consul General in Bitola Nikolay Dimitrov, diplomats and representatives of the Bulgarian community in North Macedonia, reported BTA.

"With the opening of the association's office, we will have a place where our fellow citizens can come to get informed about the association itself, but also about the culture, traditions and education system in Bulgaria. Because only by learning about each other will we begin to respect each other more and remove the negative influences and prejudices of the past. And this will bring progress and prosperity to all of us on the path to what we aspire to — becoming part of the European family", said the chairman of the association, Ljupco Josevski.
