Goce Delcev’s policy is for Macedonia to be liberated, and that political identity of Goce Delcev is strong and surpasses all other identities, he is dying for Macedonia and from that aspect, in my opinion, you cannot separate him from the Macedonian people, said the president of the Macedonian team from the Commission of Historians with Bulgaria Dragi Gjorgiev.
Regarding the position of the president’s advisor for foreign policy Denko Maleski, according to which Delcev is a Bulgarian historical figure, Gjorgiev said that he does not agree with such simplification of identity issues, because at that time there was no spiritual, ethnic and national unity in Bulgarian context among the Christian-Slavic population in Macedonia.
He points out that during the last four meetings of the Commission, Goce Delcev was discussed and the work stopped there, and if that commission insists that Goce Delcev was Bulgarian or Macedonian, then there will be no solution. The purpose of the Commission is to recognize something in Goce Delcev that can unite us as two peoples and be jointly honored.
