The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has received warnings regarding a pattern of concerning incidents directed at Bulgarian institutions, organizations, and citizens within the Republic of North Macedonia. This concern was formally raised through a letter submitted by MEP Denica Saçeva. The communication was addressed to President Pablo Espan and members of the EHP/HD PSSE group, preceding the Assembly’s scheduled autumn session in Strasbourg, which is set to take place from June 22nd to the 26th.
In her correspondence, Saçeva stressed that the recent incident involving the burning of two diplomatic vehicles near the Bulgarian embassy in North Macedonia should not be viewed as an isolated event. She asserted that this specific incident is indicative of a broader and worrying series of attacks targeting Bulgarian interests across the nation. The warning highlights a persistent pattern of instability and targeted action affecting the Bulgarian community and its diplomatic presence in North Macedonia.
By bringing this issue before the Council, Saçeva sought to draw the attention of the Assembly to the systemic nature of the threats. The focus remains on documenting and addressing the escalating concerns surrounding the safety and institutional stability of Bulgarian entities operating within the country. This formal communication underscores the political dimension of the reported incidents, urging the Council to acknowledge the gravity of the situation beyond any single, localized event.
