The candidate for President of Bulgaria from the National Union of the Right - KOD, Goran Blagoev, in a statement for BNT, commenting on the relations between Skopje and Sofia, said that intensive political negotiations are necessary, because the relations between Northern Macedonia and Bulgaria are at a freezing point. . He also estimates that history alone cannot be lived.

- The problem with Northern Macedonia is that many untruths are told. The claim that there is no Macedonian minority in Bulgaria is in fact incorrect. There are people in Bulgaria with a Macedonian identity, imposed by the former Bulgarian Communist Party, which ruled for 45 years, Blagoev said.

Blagoev also asks why there were people at the meeting with Bulgarian President Rumen Radev who represented only one point of view, alluding to the meeting in Sofia of the Bulgarian head of state with representatives of Bulgarian associations in northern Macedonia.

According to Blagoev, in that context, we should not talk about the Bulgarian minority in Northern Macedonia, but Bulgaria should defend the individual rights of every Bulgarian citizen who has a Bulgarian identity.

He estimates that the inclusion of Bulgarians as a separate ethnic group will provide, as he says, "a basis for claims of the Macedonian minority in Bulgaria by the Republic of Northern Macedonia."

Blagoev asked what was happening with the fake news about the alleged destruction of the Bulgarian military cemetery near Kavadarci, which was found to have been destroyed during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the 30s, assessing that such things "cause hostility to to be stronger, and reason to disappear.
