BULGARIA TO KEEP RELATIONS WITH MACEDONIA UNCHANGED AFTER EU ENTRY- KALFIN

Anti-macedonian centiments were unexistent in Bulgaria, Foreign Minister Ivailo Kalfin said during a meeting with his Macedonian counterpart Antonio Milososki.

Bulgaria's upcoming EU entry was hardly going to change the relations between the two countries, said Kalfin as quoted by Focus news agency. After it became union member, Bulgaria was going to work for the development of the entire Balkan region, said he.

Relations between Bulgaria and Macedonia moved forward and were going to become even closer in the future, said Kalfin.

Kalfin attended the opening of a Bulgarian consulate in Macedonia's Bitola on December 27.

Milososki said that the consulate was going to aid co-operation between Bulgaria and Macedonia.

The new consulate was the eighth diplomatic office in Bitola, Milososki said.

Three Bulgarian diplomats will work in the consulate. People will be able to get information on documents needed for the issuing of visas there.
