Bulgarian Foreign Ministry Announces Review of Diplomatic Note Related to Mickoski’s Family

Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced from Sofia that it attaches special importance to the protection of diplomatic communications and condemns any action that violates the international norms and practices clearly established in this field. The reaction came after Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski’s comments about the published diplomatic note related to his family’s trip in January of this year to the Bulgarian ski resort of “Pamporovo”.

In a statement to the Bulgarian state agency “BTA”, Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry emphasized that, as had been announced earlier, the note made public concerns the events of January 6, 2026. According to them, the circumstances of this case are still being clarified, while an inspection has been ordered to determine all the facts related to the handling of the note within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A few days earlier, Bulgarian diplomacy had denied that it had shared information about the Mickoski family’s trip. It had even distanced itself from the case, arguing that it concerned events that had taken place some time ago and that, for this reason, they could not be treated as an immediate security threat.

On the other hand, Mickoski said in an interview with MRTV, on the occasion of the second anniversary of the Government’s mandate, that the provocations that have occurred in the recent period are part of an organized Bulgarian campaign in our country. According to him, its aim is to promote things that are unacceptable through one or two political figures.
