Former Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Dimitrov in an interview with H1 TV from Belgrade said that the French proposal to resolve the dispute between North Macedonia and Bulgaria is a dangerous precedent and opens the possibility for Sofia to block and blackmail Skopje during the entire negotiation process, reports the MIA correspondent in Belgrade.
According to Dimitrov, Paris has allowed bilateral issues with Bulgaria to enter into a negotiating framework, and the dispute with Sofia concerns the Macedonian language, identity and history.
“I think that only takes us away from what the process should be – democratic and economic reforms, Copenhagen criteria. What we have is a dead end,” Dimitrov told H1.
