Eurostat Report: Bulgaria Among Few EU States Witnessing Coffee Price Hike in 2024

The Bulgarian nationalist party VMRO has called for imposing a veto on Macedonia's NATO accession over the case with the jailed Bulgarian citizen Spaska Mitrova.
This was announced in a special declaration distributed after Macedonia's President, Gjorge Ivanov, refused to pardon the 23-year-old Mitrova.
VMRO, which is a descendant of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization from the end of the 19th century, and the first half of the 20th century, defines the letter of the Macedonian President as an outright cynicism, and demands harsh reaction by the Bulgarian government.
"As a full member of NATO and the EU, Bulgaria cannot assist and support Macedonia's accession to those organizations while it tolerates the violations of human rights and repressions against citizens with Bulgarian consciousness," VMRO has stated.
The party believes that Mitrova's case is not an internal Macedonian issue because it involved a Bulgarian citizen.
Macedonia's accession to NATO has already been prevented by a veto by Greece over the Macedonian name dispute.
