Skopje – Speaker of Parliament Afrim Gashi offered his congratulations to Rumen Radev following the parliamentary elections in Bulgaria today. Gashi expressed the hope for a stable political government in Sofia, anticipating this will facilitate the resolution of outstanding issues between the two nations. Speaking on the matter, Gashi stated, “It is normal for us as a state to benefit from having a stable political government in Sofia, which can resolve the open issues.” He underscored that the current North Macedonian government maintains a firm commitment to pursuing a European path, designating it a key agenda and priority.

He emphasized the expectation of a swift government formation and the importance of establishing contact to achieve this. The Speaker’s comments reflect a desire for improved relations and the resolution of persistent challenges, particularly concerning the relationship between Skopje and Sofia.
He anticipates that a new government will be able to address these open issues effectively.
