Journalist: Bulgaria’s problem with PCM is that over the years you have changed your position
What do the archives of the British Consulate in Skopje, from 1948, tell us?
“They are extremely interesting. They show the genesis of the Macedonian nation and the Macedonian language. Also the goals of politics in Skopje, which do not change until the outside days. The report is ten pages long. It was sent at the end of 1948. It describes how I am creating the first Macedonian identity, although the facts, the documents, the witnesses say that the people were Bulgarians. And at the same time why the Macedonian language is being created and should be created. ” journalist Dimitar Dimitrov in the studio of “Brussels 1”.
The document also describes in detail the disputes in Bulgaria. One of the main problems that remains over the years is that Bulgaria is changing its position.
“Because before Yugoslavia was expelled from the communist form bureau, Bulgaria recognized the Macedonian nation. They even forced the Bulgarians in Pirin Macedonia to write themselves Macedonians. Extremely extreme of Yugoslavia, the Bulgarian position is changing,” the journalist told SETimes. Bulgaria ON AIR.
The author of the report is trying to solve the complexity of the situation of colleagues in London.
“Throughout this description, people think it’s been a long time and everyone still thinks it’s the most important thing. His conclusion and the conclusion of his colleagues and superiors in London, which they wrote, literally reads: “Many Macedonians continue to consider themselves Bulgarians”, which in the 48th year is a fact. Second: “There are no Macedonian feelings and the antagonisms have developed to such an extent that the situation cannot be resolved through a full accession of Macedonia to Bulgaria.” In fact, these are the antagonisms, this is the genesis of the Macedonian “nation and language”, said Dimitar Dimitrov.
The journalist admits that the Macedonian authorities have acted more strategically.
“The commission has recruited a Westerner to help them explain their policy in the West. Because from a Bulgarian point of view, we can understand everything, but without help, as it is appropriate to present, it is very complicated. Lyudmila Zhivkova found herself in such a situation when she was doing her dissertation at the seminar in Oxford. Asked about the Macedonian problem, she replied “This is a very philosophical question” – she replied that it was a confusing job. Over the years, I have met with Bulgarians who are trying to formulate a position with endless explanations. And the locals are coming out. “shared the journalist.
The guest of the comment and the drasticness does not respect the Bulgarian human rights of the people in Northern Macedonia. A topic whose country is not placed at European and international level.
“It is correct as an idea, but it is non-existent as a practice. Because when you read the media, we see that there is pressure, whether from Washington or Paris, but the more general problem is that Bulgaria is not looking for allies,” said Dimitar Dimitrov. .
