A couple of days before the NATO summit in Chicago, Skopje asked for Bulgarian support in the country's aspirations towards NATO membership, emerged after the talks of Bulgaria's Minister of Defence, Anyu Angelov and his Macedonian counterpart, Fatmir Besimi who arrived on a working visit to Bulgaria yesterday. Macedonia's advances to NATO membership are blocked by the disagreement with Greece over the name of the former Yugoslavian republic.
"Bulgaria has been consistent in supporting NATO's policy of open doors for the Balkans and we hope that very soon the decision for Macedonia's accession to NATO will be a fact," Angelov said. Mr Angelov, though, did not shy away from expressing his concerns over the fact that Macedonian authorities stopped the Bulgarian Ambassador in the Skopje from laying flowers at the grave of revolutionary Gotse Delchev.
"Such instances might influence the positive public attitudes. The bilateral relations and the efficiency of Bulgarian support for the strategic goals of the Macedonian Government," Bulgaria's Minister of Defence said.
