North Macedonia's Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani, in an interview with bTV, said that the Bulgarian cultural clubs in North Macedonia should change their names according to the law adopted by Skopje censoring the names of cultural institutions. According to Osmani, names from the "fascist period" of history should not be used.

Prof. Spas Tashev from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences described Osmani's words as "neo-fascism" in an interview for Nova TV. According to Tashev, Osmani's visit to Sofia after the beating of the secretary of the Bulgarian club "Tsar Boris III" in Ohrid, Hristiyan Pendikov, aims to blunt the Bulgarian reaction in front of the international community.
The entire North Macedonian political elite, as well as the public elite in the country, are complicit in this serious crime against Hristiyan, because for more than 30 years they have been fomenting and enforcing anti-Bulgarianism, Petar Kolev, chairman of the Civil Democratic Union in North Macedonia, told Nova TV.
