Bulgaria's block on Macedonian EU advances stays - despite pressure from the EU.

There is only one VMRO, and it is this one

Rubbish. VMRO-BND are descendants of the Supreme Macedonian Committee who joined VMRO after the SMC was disbanded. They wreaked havoc in the organization. Their leader, Karakachanov is ex-KGB agent.

След първоначално добро сътрудничество с Вътрешната македоно-одринска революционна организация, Върховният комитет влиза постепенно в конфликт и с нея, и с българското правителство и в 1903 година организацията е забранена в България, а в 1905 година се разпуска. Военното крило в организацията продължава да се занимава с революционна дейност до 1912 година, а след Балканските и Първата световна война част от тях се вливат в десницата на ВМРО, докато част от легалните дейци формират Съюза на македонските емигрантски организации.

At the time of its establishment in 1991, the name of the organization was IMRO-Union of Macedonian Associations. At the Fourth Congress in 1997, IMRO-UMA dropped the addition UMA.[12] Initially, it was not involved in Bulgarian politics, but after 1994 it became politically active and entered the Bulgarian parliament. Renamed the IMRO-Bulgarian National Movement in 1998

The EU may be pointless to a country like the UK or France or Norway but to a small country like North Macedonia the EU is everything, its their best chance for any development, just like it was everything to us 13 years ago. The life standard here has hugely improved since we became a member.

Macedonians will emigrate if they become a member. EU wasnt created to benefit the smaller countries but to extract people from there to work in the bigger ones like France, germany, Italy, etc..

That's precisely what happened to Bulgaria. Look at the massive population decline since joining the EU. On the other hand the Balkans in general have seen massive emigration, whether countries are EU members or not.

What massive population decline exactly? The one made up by your state propaganda?

Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007 with 7.5 million population. And last year 2020 the population of Bulgaria is 7.1 million.

Hardly a "massive decline", more like a natural swerve in population as old generations pass away.

Cope any way you like. You live in the world's fastest shrinking nation.

Well I think its time to come to a reconciliation, Macedonians need to admit they do share a common history with the Bulgarians. The past 200 years at the very least. We should work on more unity and cooperation between south Slavic countries not the other way around.

Agree, this would have happened much easier if Bulgaria didn't use it's veto and now become the most hated neighbour for Macedonians. Not a very good tactic by the Bulgarians.

This video was the source of many debate in the country, and with what purpose it was made, since a video like this can be many about many countries.

As statistics show we have lost a mere 400,000 people since our joining in the EU. That`s less than how many people die annually in the UK of various health-related problems and nobody is making videos on them "shrinking"

[PAGANE]

Nobody in Bulgaria is interested in whether you hate us or not. In reality, you are nothing without Bulgaria, Greece or Serbia. Serbia created you on the basis of the stolen ethnic name of Greek people and the stolen Bulgarian history. If you do not come to your senses and acknowledge the historical facts and truths and start building your ethnic identity on the basis of your recent history (respectively after 1992, which is entirely yours), then sooner or later you will be swallowed up by your neighbors.
