The President of North Macedonia, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, offered congratulations to Rumen Radev following his victory in the recent parliamentary elections in Bulgaria. Speaking after attending a Conference of Presidents and Speakers of Parliaments of the Adriatic & Ionian Initiative in Skopje, the President emphasized the necessity of a regional cooperative approach. President Siljanovska-Davkova stated that North Macedonia remains committed to cultivating “friendly and constructive relations” and fostering mutual understanding regarding the importance of European Union enlargement.
She confirmed that she had communicated with Radev after the election, noting that she subsequently received a call from him. “I wished him success and said I believe that such strong support is a guarantee of stability,” she told reporters, adding that Bulgarian citizens likely view him as a stabilizing force for the country. She suggested this support might facilitate his efforts to form a government and implement his platform, expressing anticipation for a future meeting.
These remarks were echoed by North Macedonia’s Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, who also congratulated Radev, stressing the mutual need for dialogue and strong neighborly relations. The focus of commentary within Macedonia surrounding the election results in Bulgaria has largely centered on the potential impact on Bulgaria’s commitment to the country’s path toward EU membership. The engagement between the two nations highlights ongoing diplomatic interest in regional stability and integration.
