Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev has met with ambassadors and diplomats from EU Member States, the US, Canada, the UK and Switzerland in Bulgaria. The diplomats were briefed in detail on the increasing trends of institutional repression against the Bulgarian community in North Macedonia, the press center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
"An open and frank discussion was held with Ljupco Georgievski, chairman of the Ivan Mihaylov Cultural Club in Bitola that was closed by the authorities in Skopje," the Foreign Ministry said. The meeting confirmed the position that Sofia does not accept the conviction pronounced in Bitola on June 12, 2025 against Georgievski. Bulgaria views the case and the conviction against Georgievski as a politically motivated process, unbecoming of a country that is a candidate for EU membership and claims to be an example of a functioning democracy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
