“There is no change in Bulgaria’s position on the European integration of North Macedonia,” Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodora Genchovska said in an interview for public service TV BNT. She pointed out that no deadline for the start of North Macedonia’s EU accession negotiations was commented during the talks with Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
