The latest meeting of the Joint Bulgaria-North Macedonia Multidisciplinary Expert Commission on historical and educational issues brought about a deepening of the contradictions between the two countries, the commission’s co-chair for the Bulgarian side Prof. Angel Dimitrov said for the BNR.
The meeting ended without any progress being made. According to Prof. Dimitrov this is due to the unwillingness of the Macedonia side to discuss concrete problems. “The problem our colleagues have is that during the Middle Ages there does not exist a single authentic source in which a Macedonian state is mentioned, or a Macedonian people. What we have here is a myth that has to be safeguarded,” he said.
At the insistence of North Macedonia the next meeting of the commission will be in mid-October.
