Many of you have talked about this on this forum. I wonder what Bulgaria's reactions will be in the upcoming weeks?
Krasimir Uzunov: Macedonia is heading at federalisation, confederalisation and division

Sofia. “Macedonia is categorically heading at federalisation, confederalisation and division,” said Krasimir Uzunov, director of FOCUS News Agency, in an interview with The Bulgarian National Radio (BNR), in a commentary on the tension in Skopje after the murder of five fishermen.
In Uzunov’s words, the cantons were established after the war in 2001.
“The Albanian partisans imposed an ethic cleansing in the mountains to the North of Tetovo, especially Shar Planina. In the villages, where churches were set on fire, there are few people, who want to live,” Uzunov remarked.
“In 10-15 years perspective, there is ethnic population. There is a number of Albanian youths, aged under 18, who are the predominant population in many regions. The Albanian population is not only in West Macedonia. If we go back to the “Ethnography of Macedonia” by Vasil Kanchov and put it over the modern map of Macedonia, the difference is stunning,” he commented further.
“Speaking of Macedonia, outside and disregarding whether there are some external influence, whether someone is seeking dividend for internal use, to show oneself as hard leader, to achieve an electoral victory to the north of Macedonia – it is about something else, too.
Inside Macedonia there are some rooted problems between the Albanians and Macedonians. No matter what seed is planted – outside or inside – to inspire such a thing, it will always sprout. Ten years and a half after the Ohrid Agreement, almost 11, the agreement has become too narrow. Some things were not realised at all. We remember the multi-ethnic patrols, which were supposed to patrol in mixed villages, the percentages that the Albanians were supposed to have in the intelligence and counterintelligence and the management of the army. Some were not realised, other were not launched at all, while third were partially realised,” Krasimir Uzunov said.
