Due to the latest developments with Macedonia and Bulgaria, the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy of Bulgaria unanimously adopted the Declaration at the last session, which must be submitted to a vote at a plenary session.

The document "categorically condemns the acts of violence and calls for violence against the Bulgarians in the RSM, their organizations and clubs, and especially the serious crime against the Bulgarian Hristian Pendikov, and firmly insists on taking systematic measures by all institutions to detect and bring the perpetrators to justice ". Bulgaria condemns "false and manipulative statements about the Bulgarian past in the public and political space of the RSM and accepts them as a deliberate instillation of hatred against Bulgaria and Bulgarians. "The protection of the rights of Bulgarian citizens and citizens with Bulgarian self-awareness in the RSM must be guaranteed through the full use of the instruments established in the negotiating framework approved by the European Union and by the decision of the Forty-seventh National Assembly of June 25, 2022," it says. in The declaration, which was published by the Bulgarian agency BGNES, without abbreviations and editorial intervention.

- The protection of the rights of Bulgarian citizens and citizens with Bulgarian self-awareness in the Republic of North Macedonia should be guaranteed through the full use of the instruments established in the negotiation framework approved by the European Union and by the decision of the Forty-seventh National Assembly of June 25, 2022, states among other things in the Declaration.
