From the conversation (with Costa), I understood that over the years there were many processes for North Macedonia in Brussels, in our NATO partner countries, without the participation of Bulgaria, and a lot of time was lost. I was simply surprised by the explanations I had to give. We must form a government and stand very firmly on our position, Borisov told reporters in the Bulgarian parliament.

Sofia – The former Bulgarian Prime Minister and leader of the GERB party, Boyko Borissov, stated that he spoke with the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, yesterday about the state’s position on the international level, as well as developments regarding neighboring Republic of North Macedonia, BTA reported.

– From the conversation (with Costa), I understood that over these years there were many processes concerning North Macedonia in Brussels and in our partner countries in NATO, without Bulgaria’s participation, and a lot of time was lost. I was simply surprised by the explanations I had to give. We must form a government and stand very firmly on our position, Borissov told reporters in the Bulgarian Parliament.

He added that today he will go to Brussels for the EU-Western Balkans Summit and that Bulgaria should strengthen its position in the region again.

– The influence of Serbia, Greece, and Turkey is enormous. Hungary is increasingly involved in this process, and we as leaders of the Balkans are now just observing the processes, and nothing good awaits us. Bulgaria can and should return to where it was four years ago, Borissov said.

Regarding the announced visit of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to Bulgaria, Borissov noted that he is pleased that Orbán is coming to Sofia and will be able to meet with him. (December 18)
