Bulgaria–Republic of Macedonia relations refer to the bilateral relations between the Republic of Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia.
Relations
Historically there have been many Bulgarians in the Strumica area of the Republic of Macedonia.[1] At the same time, until 1913 the majority of the Slav population of Macedonia had Bulgarian identity.[2] During World War II, most parts of Yugoslav and Greek Macedonia were annexed by Bulgaria, and the local Slavic-speakers were regarded and self-identified as Macedonian Bulgarians.[3][4] Not until much later did the process of Macedonian national identity formation gain momentum.[2] After 1944 the People's Republic of Bulgaria and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia began a policy of making Macedonia a connecting link for the establishment of new Balkan Federative Republic and stimulating there a development of distinct Slav Macedonian consciousness.[5] Therefore, since the Republic of Macedonia became independent of Yugoslavia in 1991, the relationship with Bulgaria has been with some controversy and disputes.
Rules for governing good neighbourly relations were agreed between Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia in the Joint Declaration of February 22, 1999 and reaffirmed by a joint memorandum signed on January 22, 2008 in Sofia.[6]
The Foreign Minister of the Republic of Macedonia, Nikola Poposki, needs to shore up relations with Bulgaria, according to The Economist.[7]
Bulgaria and Macedonia signed a treaty where Bulgaria recognises Macedonian as a official and formal separate languange. Before Bulgaria officially viewed Macedonian as a Bulgarian dialect. [8]
