Goce Delcev is an important person for both countries and he should unite us with North Macedonia, not to divide us, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria Ekaterina Zaharieva told bTV.

Според неа Гоце Делчев е заеднички.

We share history. The Friendship Treaty and the Good Neighborhood and Cooperation Agreement between the two countries underline that. In that agreement, Bulgaria wants to tell the truth. Goce Delcev was a Bulgarian, famous revolutionary, one of the most important figures for them as well, who fought for the autonomy of Macedonia and the Odrin Thracian. I do not see why so much fighting over him. I think that this person should unite us, not to divide us, says Zaharieva.

The minister added that they had very good relations with Prime Minister Zaev and Foreign Minister Nikola Dimitrov, but, as she says, there is still quite a way to go to full trust.

But the signs are very good and the start is not bad, reads the statement reported by Expres.mk.
