“I had conversations with my Bulgarian colleagues and they assured me that they have no intention of setting new conditions. They would like to see progress on the roadmap that is already in place. And we want to make sure that we can work with all parties to ensure that those conditions are met. We must be based on facts and existing obligations to ensure that North Macedonia will be able to move forward in the accession process,” the US envoy said.
