Radev: North Macedonia must change its constitution

In a wide-ranging exclusive interview, Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev explained at length the reasons behind his country’s veto which prevents North Macedonia from starting EU accession negotiations, and suggested the way forward to solve the issue, which includes a change in this country’s constitution.

It's a shame N. Macedonia is labelled as a non-humanitarian with bad intentions and treatment of minorites. This really undermines all agreements / treaties with all our neighbors that's simply a false accusation. Furthemore, Macedonia was the only republic from ex-jugoslavia to peacefully seperate. We also managed to stop a war between Kosovo and Macedonia through Diplomacy with ethnic Albanians (we have avoided a Bosnia situation) when it comes to minorities rights: we are the leaders is the Western Balkans. I agree we have a shared history but thats the point its shared - when you want to claim all the history/language exclusively as your own that's not shared anymore. We both originated from what is old-Chruch Slavonic language and we have drifted we choose to have our own self determination. It's like Serbian and Croatia and Bosnian. They all have been recognized as seperate languages when infact they are very similar. Macedonian and Bulgarian are more different but still similar. Old Slavonic heros are not just Bulgarian they belong to all the slavic countries and that's what sharing is. If Macedonian path, to EU is put on a preference that's a massive lie. We have been waiting since 2004 and have changed the entire constitution/Name of our country to satisfy Greece. I dont think anyother country has sacrificed as much as N. Macedonia. I think this whole VETO is to make BG public deflect with the real problems of corruption and other issues in Bulgaria. Somany years in the EU and they have lost almost lost 1/4 of the population. The VETO is a way to make their ministers look important and defend Bulgarian interests when infact these guys are bad politicians. The 120,000 Macedonias who were given Bulgarian passport did so they can enter EU out of economic reasons most of them claimed it by signing a letter that makes them swear oath to Bulgaria and that they have Bulgarian roots. I have lots of freinds who did this any they did so they can get an EU passport. Its actually a crime what they have allowed.

[@claus1516]

1.North Macedonia exists today solely because of the fact that Bulgaria was a regional power, which recognized it as a separate state first in the whole world and bulgarian diplomacy was able to persuade Russia and many others to follow. Furthermore, Bulgaria gave FYROM millitary aid, consisting of hundreds of tanks and etc., during the fragile situation the newly born state was in, due to the heated relations between all ex-yugo countries, especially with Serbia. Because of those generous acts the territorial integrity of FYROM was preserved. This also ensured that there would be no further danger of albanian separatism. Bulgaria basically nurtured you. 2.Even Russia recognizes that Old-Church slavonic comes from Bulgaria, because of the linguistic evidence. The Cyrilic script is bulgarian, made by the bulgarian St. Clement of Ohrid. Tsar Samuel, Gotse Delchev, Dame Gruev, Todor Aleksandrov, and etc. were all bulgarians, they made it very clear when they were alive. There is no historical evidence that today's north macedonians are the heir of the ancient macedonians. Aditionally, there is nothing in common between the two, except part of the region they populated and populate. 3.When a state has internal crisis, in your case the decline of slavic and growth of albanian population, politicians usually try to distract public attention outside or in any direction as far as possible. I know this from my ancestors, who came from Debar many decades ago. 4.Sofia will not give green light to North Macedonia until all demands are fulfilled, since all politicians know that this would be real suicide. 5.All of the bulgarians from North Macedonia who were given bulgarian passport proved their bulgarian ancestry. In conversations I've had with such people, they have expressed multiple times that they consider themselves bulgarians. However, many of them would rather not express this in North Macedonia. I am proud to call many friends. Speaking of north macedonian minority in Pirin is easily dissmantled when you go there and speak to each inhabitant. My own great-grandfather was subject of violence by bulgarian communists, who made him "macedonian" national by force. Also, the bulgarian minority in Albania was officially recognised by the albanian government on Oct. 12,2017, which was a huge blow on North Macedonia, since the north macedonian government has always laid lunatic claims about these people.

@@claus1516 It's funny how you say that when Bulgaria has failed to politically capture N. Macedonia not once but Twice! Once in 1903 during the Ottoman uprisings and then in WWII (when they aligned with the fascist). Also, it's funny how Bulgaria continues to use the phrase one people two nations. Kind of what Russia is doing to Ukraine. However, there are good Bulgarian people who fight along side Macedonians when we needed help against the Ottomans. But for a "one people" why did we kill eachother so much: Todor Panica killed by Mencha Karnicheva Jane Sandanski killed by traitors in Pirin Goce Delcev Killed by traitors. Hristo Uzunov killes by traitor. The list is endless. What is the logical explanation? Macedonians arnt claiming and forcefully trying to change the constitution of any neighbouring countries. Bulgaria still pushing their fascist Ideology. And if we talk about history no country has exclusive rights here. For example your country Bulgaria claims that our language is Bulgarian and yes we are similar but we both originated form "old church slavonic"- a language which is owned by nobody! It's a holy church language for the slavs. Also N. Macedonia happens to have overlapping history - on a bit of land that has soil soaked with blood and endless change in Kings and Rulers. Nowhere did I claim history here but I sure have exposed how Bulgaria is doing exactly that. Claiming all of history because of this stupid veto blocking N.Macedonia and Albania entry into EU.

@@JovancoD Actually, OCS is provably Old Bulgarian, as per historical consensus. Western historians have decided to remove any national claims from the Language, but there is a hefty amount of evidence to suggest that it was specifically designed for Bulgaria, as were both the alphabets that predate the Cyrillic. It's simply a matter of maintaining a claim-neutral position on something that is sacred to all Slavs (While recognizing that OCS was both created on Bulgarian lands, and it has the most resemblance to Old Bulgarian than any other Slavic language, which you can verify by yourself) Also, Goce Delchev and his compatriots have repeatedly claimed their ultimate desire is for the region of Macedonia to unite with the Bulgarian fatherland after it's liberated, and that's something you can easily google. There is no need for empty, toxic rhetoric on your part. You are clearly lacking definitions. Also, equating the Russo-Ukraine conflict to the Bulgaro-Macedonian one is ridiculous, as Bulgaria has actually been on the forefront of support for the Macedonian people. Our only issue is that you refuse to recognize that: 1) Your language clearly originates from Bulgarian, as does your identity ( which is proven by the lack of records of Macedonian identity from Byzantines and Turks prior to the 19th century ) and, 2) Many of your historical and cultural claims have Bulgarian roots. Not common roots. Bulgarian roots specifically. Just like the Americans recognize that they come from Europe, and how the English recognize their Anglo-Saxon ancestors. As such. Our rulers can be claimed by you only through your recognition that those are Bulgarian rulers first and foremost, and you were once a part of this nation.
