The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade described the opposition SDSM’s accusations—that the government is preparing to accept the French proposal and that there are clear signals to this effect from Brussels—as attempts to spread disinformation and fuel hysteria. The ministry also dismissed as untrue claims that the executive is seeking a secret agreement to open negotiations with the European Union.

According to the Foreign Ministry, the institutions maintain regular and transparent communication with the European Union’s member states, including Bulgaria, as well as with other international partners. However, the government’s position on the conditions facing the country during the European integration process has not changed.
“There are no concessions regarding national interests, identity, language or history. Full membership in the European Union remains the strategic commitment and ultimate goal of this government,” the Foreign Ministry said, reiterating that the secret agreements mentioned by SDSM do not exist.
The ministry stressed that, unlike in the past, when agreements and compromises were approved without transparency and to the detriment of national positions, foreign policy is now being conducted responsibly, on the basis of principles and openly before the public, while respecting national interests and the will of citizens.
