Former Foreign Minister: Bulgaria Has No Apologies to Make to North Macedonia

Former Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivayio Kalfin stated that Bulgaria has no reason to apologize to the Republic of North Macedonia. Speaking to bTV, Kalfin emphasized that the controversy arising from the absence of the Macedonian flag during President Rumen Radev's meeting with Macedonian President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova should not escalate tensions between the two countries. He argued that Bulgaria's position is strong, supported by a signed treaty which he believes Skopje must adhere to.
