& are made at a time when provocations - coming from both sides of the border - threaten to aggravate an already complex situation. Such hate speech, defamatory & discriminatory language may seriously harm relations between the EP and the Assembly of North Macedonia, (3)

and we wish to express our concern over the impact such statements may have on the perception of not just the #EP but of the #EU as a whole. We therefore urge @EP_President Metsola in an official letter to look into this matter with the full authority of her office. (4)

This kind of inflammatory language needs to be discouraged & its utmost important to reduce any tensions between MEPs and North Macedonia.
#Bulgaria and North Macedonia need to continue their efforts towards good neighbourly relations. (5)
