The meeting of the Joint Multidisciplinary Commission of Experts on Historical and Educational Issues between Bulgaria and North Macedonia in Skopje ended without progress, BTA reported. On February 21 and 22, the Commission once again discussed how the matter of the Ohrid Archbishopric is presented in the 7th-grade textbooks in North Macedonia.

At the first meeting of 2025, technical protocols were signed for two meetings held in 2023, the Bulgarian representatives said. The Bulgarian side proposed for discussion several historical figures with jubilee anniversaries in 2025, but at the insistence of the representatives of North Macedonia, the topic was postponed to the next meeting in April in Sofia.

The Joint Multidisciplinary Commission of Experts on Historical and Educational Issues was established as a result of the Treaty of Friendship and Good Neighbourliness between Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia signed in 2017.
