The Macedonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs carefully follows the statements and activities coming from the Republic of Bulgaria and notes with regret that the latest activities of official Sofia are not in accordance with the agreed practice for the improvement of mutual relations; on the contrary, they represent submission to the provocations of those who want to disrupt the efforts of the two governments for a stable and positive development of relations between the two countries”, the MFA said on Thursday on the occasion of the withdrawal of the Bulgarian ambassador from N. Macedonia.
“Although calling an ambassador for consultation in the home country is a right of the sending country and a regular diplomatic practice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses regret for such a step, which it considers to be unfounded, unsupported by valid arguments and disproportionate,” reads the MFA’s press release.
