Poposki from DPMNE:
In terms of interests, as we have noted, there are common and different interests, and in the area of common interests it is that EU and NATO membership is what does not merge and what we should look at. Regarding the different interests, it is worth mentioning that they want to insert a common history with Bulgaria that is not in the 1999 declaration, and even more so with the introduction of a commission that will become a stopping point for our EU membership. At the same time, Bulgaria's interest is to provide a guarantee from the Macedonian side for non-interference in the interior of Bulgaria.

What is important to distinguish in this context is that France and Germany do not argue about history. Neither France disputes Germany on the particularity of the language or the people, nor vice versa Germany to challenge France for the distinctiveness of people and language. If we agree that this is the model on which European integration is based, that model should be applied equally among today's countries, one of which is part of the EU, and for the other Bulgaria has pledged to support it to become a member, Poposki says .
