Pellegrini’s Comments Spark Bulgaria’s Protest

Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry summoned Slovakia’s ambassador after Slovak President Peter Pellegrini’s remarks in Skopje on North Macedonia’s EU bid. Sofia called the comments “unacceptable,” saying they questioned the EU’s 2022 enlargement consensus.

Pellegrini, during talks with North Macedonian President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, warned that the EU risks losing credibility if it adds new conditions for membership. He reaffirmed Slovakia’s strong support for North Macedonia’s accession and for continued EU enlargement.
