The President of North Macedonia Stevo Pendarovski stated that he had no intention of discussing, with Bulgaria and with his counterpart Rumen Radev, questions connected with history and the past.

Talking to Telma TV he said that he would talk to Bulgaria about real European issues. According to Pendarovski, it does not make any different to Skopje who in Sofia is going to form a government or who is going to be prime minister because North Macedonia already has a negotiating framework with the EU. With regard to the forthcoming opening of a Bulgarian cultural club in Ohrid, North Macedonia, named after Tsar Boris III, President Pendarovski once again demanded that a list of names allowed for the registering of associations be drawn up.

A Macedonian cultural centre named after Nikola Vaptsarov and financed by the Macedonian Human Rights Movement International is to open doors in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, on 30 October, BGNES reports.
