"When Bulgaria is united, we can achieve results," GERB leader Boyko Borissov wrote on Facebook, following the adoption of the European Parliament’s annual report on North Macedonia’s progress toward EU accession.

The European Parliament overwhelmingly rejected all references to a “Macedonian identity and language” in the report—a move Borissov hailed as a clear signal of success through national unity. “When all our MEPs, institutions, and political forces act together, we can defend the national interest at the highest level in Europe,” he stated.

Borissov extended a message to North Macedonia, saying: “Once again, I offer a hand of friendship—let’s move forward together, based on respect and full implementation of the Treaty of Friendship and Good Neighbourliness, as well as the European consensus reached in 2022. In me, and in Bulgaria, North Macedonia will always find a sincere and close partner.”

He also revealed that in recent weeks he had held multiple discussions with European leaders and representatives of leading EU political families. "I made it clear that European institutions and their documents must not be exploited for nationalist propaganda. They must serve truth and good neighborly relations. I am glad that Bulgaria’s voice was heard," Borissov wrote.

He concluded by thanking MEP Andrey Kovatchev for his tireless efforts and expressed gratitude to the European People’s Party, referring to it as “our political family,” for its trust and support.
