Zoran Zaev’s personal envoy to Bulgaria Vlado Buckovski said that the history books between the two countries will need to be aligned before Macedonia joins the EU. Buckovski said that changes will be made on the Bulgarian side as well, even though Bulgaria is using its veto power in the EU to impose terms on Macedonia, and not the other way around.

This is provided in the 2018 treaty. The tendency is to harmonize history books, not just here but in Bulgaria as well. The historic committee works for our future generations, Buckovski said.
