The note states that this act does not contribute to the spirit of good neighborliness and the efforts of both sides to intensify bilateral dialogue. The Bulgarian side insists that the competent authorities in the Republic of North Macedonia identify and punish the perpetrators.

In response, the Foreign Ministry of the Republic of North Macedonia strongly condemned the “vandal and unpleasant incident” that took place on the day of the 150th anniversary of Gotse Delchev's birth by members of groups of fans who uncivilizedly removed the ribbons, left by the Bulgarian delegation.

The competent institutions have already taken action to identify the perpetrators.
