The Bulgarian obsession: Macedonia in the 20th century
Бугарските ставови кои се однесуваат на Македонија се една од малкуте карактеристики на бугарската современа политика што се неизменети и покрај сите промени на режимите. Со краткотраен прекин во годините веднаш по Втората светска војна, бугарските влади секогаш го формулираа, повеќе или помалку отворено, своето верување за бугарското потекло на Македонците и за историски неправедното оттргнување на територијата на Македонија од "Мајка Бугарија". Дури и за време на комунистичкото уредување, кога Бугарија беше сметана за "најблизок сојузник на Москва" и беа одложени/ запрени сличните идеи за измена на границите, "македонското прашање" беше тема којашто создаваше несогласувања меѓу Софија и Москва. Советските челници го користеа овој проблем како средство во својата политика на Балканот, особено при преговарањето со контроверзниот југословенски лидер маршалот Тито.

A COUNTRY THAT CAUSED EUROPE’S “ASSISTANCE FATIGUE”
Bulgaria was probably the least probable country to join the EU. It was a political rather than based on economical rationality decision, one that came in times of deep transformation of the EU itself. With the Bulgarian succession, the Cyrillic alphabet became the third official EU alphabet. And this is a distinct Bulgarian contribution to the linguistic and cultural diversity of the Union. However, due to frauds and abuses of European funds in Bulgaria, this country faces tough time with the withdrawal of the EU money...
