Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi said that no nation would accept to negotiate on the issues Bulgaria is raising with Macedonia. Xhaferi, who is an ethnic Albanian, spoke during a TV21 interview where he denounced Bulgaria’s claims on Macedonian history and national identity.

Bulgaria and Macedonia signed a treaty on good-neighborly relations. Under the treaty, both sides undertook specific obligations. Right after that, Bulgaria raised new conditions, Xhaferi said.

He added that a solution to the current dispute could be found if the historic issues are overcome and if we look forward and implement the EU agenda.
