Bulgaria, Sofia (AP) — The Bulgarian Parliament has long blocked European Union accession negotiations with North Macedonia on Friday. Decided to release. Albania has expressed new hopes that Brock will be able to push forward with expansion plans in the West Balkans as Russia fights in Ukraine.
France, now the EU's replacement president, has made last effort this week to resolve the ethnic and cultural conflicts between Bulgaria and North Macedonia, the source of veto power.
The Bulgarian government officially acknowledged that North Macedonia has roots in the Bulgarian language, acknowledged the Bulgarian minority in its constitution, and "hate" Bulgaria. Insisted on suppressing the "Speech". North Macedonia said its identity and language are indisputable.
In France's proposal, North Macedonia must recognize in the preamble of the Constitution that the Bulgarians are one of the constituents of the country. North Macedonia revealed at the EU summit Thursday that France's proposal is "unacceptable" in its current form.
North Macedonia has held EU candidate status for 17 years and has not set a date to start negotiations, but received a green light to start accession negotiations in 2020.
