Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva wants the Bulgarian-North Macedonian Committee on Historical Affairs to resume its work immediately after the parliamentary elections in North Macedonia.

Our position is clear. We do not want to politicize committees. There is pre-election situation in Skopje and this is no secret to anyone. I hope that once the elections are over, the committee will continue to work immediately. This would be the implementation of the agreement that we have signed and would show maturity, regardless of who is in power, Minister Zaharieva said. Commenting on threats of the opposition that if they took power, they would change the agreements with Bulgaria and Greece, Minister Zaharieva commented that she hoped this would remain just pre-election talk.
