One day after the statement of the Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister Krasimir Karakachanov in which he directed a lot of insults at the Macedonians, there was no reaction from Zaev’s government. After the meeting between Zaev and Borisov, only Karakachanov made a statement, who was clear that Bulgaria will not give in even a bit and that it depends on Macedonia whether it will accept the Bulgarian blackmail.

And they are not at all naive and directly interferes in the Macedonian identity, language, history. If we give up on this, the Macedonians will be deprived of individuality only because of some beginning of negotiations with the EU where it is unclear whether we will ever enter and in what form the bloc itself will be.

In the style of a teacher, Karakachanov gave an ultimatum to the students in Skopje to accept the requests by Friday. However, if this can be expected from the Bulgarian nationalist, the statement of the Foreign Minister Osmani that there were certain steps in overcoming the misunderstandings with Bulgaria is worrying. For Osmani, are identity issues a misunderstanding?

It may be a misunderstanding for him, but for the Macedonian people these are essential issues for which there should be no negotiations, let alone an agreement.

Karakachanov with his arrogant behavior goes so far as to ironically call our country Macedonia while Zaev and his ministers persistently repeat “North”.

If until now he said that the Macedonian people originated from 1944, now he says that it has been a product of the Comintern in 1934. There is no reaction from Zaev, Dimitrov and Osmani to this statement either.

Despite Karakachanov’s statement, the Government in Skopje did not deny the content of the non-paper published by the Austrian journalist. It states that, however, the Macedonian language is being negotiated and whether it should be with a footnote or the wording “official language” of the country should be used.

And only a few weeks ago, Zaev and Pendarovski said that there were no negotiations on the language.

But Zaev’s word lasts until the first meeting with “brother” Borisov. When they see each other, he forgets what he said.
