Bulgaria and Macedonia are holding intensive talks and the working groups are expected to achieve concrete results soon, Bulgarian Ambassador to Tirana Momtchil Raytchevski said Sunday during his visit to Korca.

We are in a period of very intense talks with Macedonia. The new Bulgarian government has set up 10 working groups working for the common interest and we expect to achieve concrete results soon. President Meta paid an official visit to Sofia, where the Bulgarian President stressed Bulgaria’s unconditional support for the integration of the Republic of Albania, said Rajcevski, in response to a reporter’s question whether Bulgaria supports the integration of Macedonia and Albania in the EU.

Sofia’s diplomatic representative in Tirana indicated that his country has been and will remain one of the most active supporters of European enlargement.

He did not want to comment on the announcement of Prime Minister Edi Rama that Albania will ask the EU separation from Macedonia in the integration process.
