The head of diplomacy Bujar Osmani Today, he had a telephone conversation with the Cabinet of the French President Emmanuel Macron, from where he received assurances that an unintentional mistake was made in the use of the adjective for the citizens of Northern Macedonia, informs Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

According to the Foreign Ministry, during the conversation, Osmani confirmed the official position of France for full respect of the official name of the country, the citizens of Northern Macedonia, as well as the corresponding adjectives, in a way as they are defined and accepted in the United Nations, according to the Prespa Agreement.

The reaction followed a statement by French President Macron at a news conference after the EU summit in Brussels last week when he used the adjective "Northern Macedonians".

- The machine is ready to approve what will be decided. This is a very good signal. "I want to congratulate the Bulgarian Prime Minister and the opposition forces who have united around this vote, but also to thank the 'Northern Macedonians' for their progress," Macron said, welcoming the Bulgarian Parliament's decision to accept the "French proposal" to unblock the European integration path of the country.
