The Prime Minister of the Republic of Macedonia Dimitar Kovachevski said that the Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov had agreed not to problematize the use of the short name of our southwestern neighbor - Macedonia, Skopje's Alsat-M TV channel reported.
"Today, as prime ministers of two close countries, we agreed that we are entering into an intensive dynamic of resolving open issues in order to secure a new future faster. Today we agreed with Prime Minister Petkov that Bulgaria should agree to use the short name - Macedonia, as well as the long name - the Republic of Northern Macedonia. This means that Bulgaria will no longer hinder the use of the short name in any international or bilateral process and has informed the UN about this, "Kovachevski said.
He added that Macedonia had also sent a note to the UN on the use of the long and short names.
"It explicitly confirms that both names are equally valid and confirms the lack of any impact on the territorial integrity of Bulgaria," Kovachevski said.
