“Let me ask if Zoran Zaev and the Government think that they would allow a branch of the University of Bitola to be opened in Sofia, which is called” St. Kliment Ohridski “and has the same name as the largest university in Bulgaria. I think the Bulgarians would not even think of allowing such a thing, let alone doing it,” Nikoloski said.
