These "opinions" are hardly political. He once laughed at the idea of Macedonians and Bulgarians being the same people and then later hopped on the Bulgarian bandwagon.

Can we agree that his views changed on the issue in the latter part of his life?

And Bulgarian newspapers don't abuse Macedonia? I don't see what this has to do with anything anyway.

Ah, there's the catch! Bulgaria's recognition of Macedonia was conditional?

It doesn't work like that. My country doesn't owe Bulgaria anything! Macedonia was invaded by Bulgaria during WW2, and has since denied my existence.

I'm sure the government and ordinary Macedonians were touched by this enormous gesture of support.

On behalf of the Republic of Macedonia and the Macedonia people, I'd like to apologize to Bulgaria for exchanging their gift to us. It was very rude of us. I hope you'll still come over for Thanksgiving next year.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Can you please rebut my responses to your previous questions. This thread is getting seriously off-topic, and you just keep introducing completely unrelated material.
