Bulgaria’s Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, said Friday the recent statement his Macedonian counterpart Nikola Gruevski had been misunderstood.

Borisov said this in Brussels, as quoted by Darik Radio, regarding a statement Nikola Gruevski made recently in Australia, which Bulgarian President Parvanov interpreted as raising territorial claims towards Bulgaria.

“Mr. Gruevski and I attended the meeting of EU leaders from the European People’s Party last night, which is when he first reacted. As far as I understand, he never intended his words to be understood that way. We are not the kind of people who would blow this issue out of proportion once he has said that was not what he meant,” Borisov declared.

Bulgaria PM: Macedonian Prime Minister Was Misunderstood
Why would Angela Merkl care about territorial issues between Bulgaria and Macedonia? If you ask me, it is all one country--Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Serbia. There is very little cultural, religious, or genetic difference. If you speak one of these languages, you speak them all. It is like China, Taiwan, and Honk Kong. One big happy family. I think they should unite and become all one country. We can call it Macedonia, in honor of Alexander.

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
