Expectations for Working Group
with North Macedonia
Sofia, February 10 (BTA) - Deputy Prime Minister and Regional Development and Public Works Minister Grozdan Karadjov said here on Thursday during the opening of the second meeting of the interdepartmental working group for cooperation with the Republic of North Macedonia in infrastructure, transport and connectivity, that all pre-conditions are present to show that the working group is the driving force that will take advantage of the political impulse and move bilateral relations in the right direction at an even higher speed.
"We are bearing the burden of big expectations to achieve practical results and this is no coincidence - on the one hand, because for the first time we have clear political consensus for a much more intensive dialogue, and on the other hand, the economic losses from infrastructure projects that have not been implemented yet are creating problems on both sides of the border," the Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister said.

The fourth meeting of expert teams from the foreign ministries of Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia, engaged in talks on the so-called package of political issues, will be held on Friday in Sofia at the Bulgarian side's invitation, the Foreign Ministry here said.
The meeting was agreed on by Foreign Minister Teodora Genchovska and her counterpart from North Macedonia Bujar Osmani during a joint meeting of the two countries' governments on January 25. RY/MY
