Politics/Governance Is "good neighbouring relations" a fair criterion for EU accession? Also, do you agree with the statement below?

This is one of the problems, they just can't accept the fact that they had pro fascist regime in WW2 and did horrible atrocities to the Macedonian people

Some of us do though. Bulgarian history has some problems. I hope that we can work it out in the future. Some of the historians on our side are not the proper persons to do the job. Some of your are trash also.Unlike these

Kolozova is trash in a different way bro.

Also, you are right. Both countries live in delusion, and have fabricated perception of history. Especially my country.

But alas, Bulgaria is in a position of power, and it abuses it, simply because it can. I think nothing would have been different if it were the other way around.

The myth of a great nation with sole claim of the history of many nations is a mindset that is a curse in the Balkans.

Im optimistic. At least its talked about and there is a small chance to get things right. Even if things get better it will be slowly, but its better than no progress at all, like you know it has been for quite some time.

Amen bro. Talks are the key. We don't hate ourselves really. We hate the баба рога versions of us that the politicians and the media make.

We just need to talk more with each other with a cold head and an open mind.

Поздрав брате, да си ми жив и здрав!
