Bulgaria vetoes North Macedonia's EU talks
By EUobserver
Bulgaria has blocked the opening of North Macedonia accession talks due to a bilateral dispute on historical issues, German EU affairs minister Michael Roth confirmed Tuesday. "They [Skopje] have already done a lot and they have their claims. They want to be part of this European community. It is a long, difficult path," Roth said, referring to the fact North Macedonia earlier changed its country's name to satisfy Greek demands.
