Six Bulgarians jailed after spying for Russia in UK

Ringleader Orlin Roussev sentenced to nearly 11 years for his role in operations that put lives and national security at risk

The Guardian

Today, on 3rd March 1878, Russia and the Ottoman Empire signed the Treaty of San Stefano, making #Bulgaria an autonomous principality, ending 500 years of Ottoman slavery.

Cheers to any #Bulgarians out there and to one of the shittiest and most corrupt countries in Europe.

Sincerely,
a Bulgarian

Only #Bulgarians will understand

#NorthMacedonia continues its sinking into the swamp of political timelessness.
After the nationalists from #VMRO -DPMNE, now their supposedly pro-EU #Albanian partners from #VLEN are stopping the inclusion of the local #Bulgarians in the country's constitution.
They live in #Macedonia for centuries' but are subject of discrimination. Their inclusion in the constitution, along with other nationalities, is a requirement of the EU for the start of membership negotiations.

VLEN Coalition Extends Deadline for Including Bulgarians in North Macedonia Constitution

The ethnic Albanian coalition VLEN, a member of the VMRO-DPMNE government in North Macedonia, has extended the 6-month deadline to add Bulgarians to the North Macedonia Constitution, Skopje media said on Friday. The coalition initially set a 6-month deadline as a prerequisite for joining the government, but that deadline was pushed aside after the elections, even though the constitutional changes and ongoing negotiations with the EU were pre-election priorities. VLEN attributed this decision to political instability in Bulgaria, rather than pressure from government partner VMRO-DPMNE.

Very interesting conversation of Ivan Krastev and Georgi Gospodinov, who won International Booker Prize 2023. They discuss the award winning book "Time Shelter" during the Vienna Humanities Festival 2023.
