The President addresses the participants in the business forum accompanying the regional initiative
Using history as a bargaining chip in politics does not always yield the desirable result. This is what Head of state Rumen Radev said before Bulgarian journalists upon their request to comment on the statement made by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to the effect that the Cyrillic alphabet in Russia originated from Macedonian land.
