North Macedonian President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova stated following a meeting with Bulgarian President Iliana Iotova that Sofia has additional requests of Skopje beyond constitutional amendments. The discussion took place on the sidelines of the Southeast European Cooperation Process Summit. Siljanovska-Davkova informed accredited media from North Macedonia about these unspecified “other demands.” This suggests ongoing complexities in bilateral relations between the two countries. The nature of these new requests remains undisclosed, adding to existing tensions related to North Macedonia’s path toward European Union membership. Bulgaria has previously insisted on constitutional guarantees for the rights of Bulgarian citizens in North Macedonia as a condition for its EU accession talks. The latest statement indicates the situation is evolving and potentially becoming more challenging.
