Renew Europe/MRF MEP, Ilhan Kyuchyuk, has held a working meeting with Foreign Minister of North Macedonia Bujar Osmani, who is on a working visit to Brussels, BTA reported.

Kyuchyuk and Osmani discussed the priorities of the new government in North Macedonia as well as bilateral relations. Kyuchyuk, the European Parliament's permanent rapporteur on North Macedonia, said he was ready to work on a constructive upcoming report on the country's progress towards EU Membership. "But in order for us politicians to do our job, it is necessary to overcome historical differences between Bulgaria and North Macedonia," he said.

The two expressed hope that the Joint Committee on Historical Affairs would soon overcome the bilateral differences in the interpretation of historical issues that have been burdening relations between the two countries for decades.
