President Plevneliev calls for results in the interest of good neighbourly relations between Bulgaria and Macedonia

Commenting on a letter received from his Macedonian counterpart Gjorge Ivanov, President Rosen Plevneliev called for results in the interest of good neighbourliness. “What is important to me is results, reforms, actions. I am waiting for something to happen and this is up to the authorities in Skopje. We are open to co-operation – we have said so many times,” President Plevneliev said. “It is action, rather than letters, that will be the proof,” the President underlined.
Responding to a proposal by the Macedonian President that there be joint commemorations of specific dates, including Europe Day, President Plevneliev said that the proposal was “very far what we imagine, celebrations of shared dates and leaving history to historians”. The President made clear his expectation for “genuine, concrete and workable proposals” to mark the dates together.
In the coming weeks, the Bulgarian and Macedonian authorities will intensify their efforts in looking for solutions, the President said, speaking highly of the proposal by EU Enlargement Commission Stefan Fule, put to the foreign ministers of the two countries some days previously, “to put absolutely all problems and ideas on the table”. President Plevneliev said that until this happened, it would be difficult to take final decisions.
