The Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has strongly condemned the burning of two vehicles near its embassy in Skopje. The MFA characterized the incident as an “act of aggressive demonstration that endangers the health and lives of the diplomatic mission’s staff.” The arson occurred around noon, perpetrated by an unidentified individual. Officials noted that the damage could have been substantially worse due to the prompt intervention of the Bulgarian consul, who utilized a fire extinguisher.
The Bulgarian MFA has called for a swift and impartial investigation into the incident. Furthermore, the Ministry asserted that this act is not an isolated occurrence but rather a consequence of escalating political rhetoric and the incitement of hatred. Bulgarian media outlets have reported footage of the burning of the vehicles in front of the Bulgarian Embassy in Skopje.
In their statements, they directed criticism toward Macedonian institutions regarding the situation. The MFA’s strong condemnation underscores the seriousness with which Bulgaria views the attack on its diplomatic property and personnel.
