The centre expects to be invited to be heard in Skopje, as it was invited and heard in the European Commission in Brussels.
The cultural center "Ivan Mihailov" in Bitola, with Lupcho Georgievski as its chairman, is making four requests to President Stevo Pendarovski:
1./ When commenting publicly on the problem, do not play with the term "minority" because we are not a minority and in a future unfalsified census of the Macedonian population this restrictive status could be applied to those you would not wish.
2./ Do not persuade the European allies that the Macedonian Bulgarians are "fascists". They already know that BY EMBRACING VUCIC, YOU EMBRACE PUTIN who uses the same accusations of "fascism" against the victims of his aggression.
3./ Ask your security services not to spend taxpayers' money in waste to create fake Bulgarian associations to allegedly represent us. The year is 2023, not 1945.
4./ Do not count on being able to discourage us by corrupting individual public figures in Sofia. In Bulgaria, we have BROTHERS, BUT NO MASTERS. Our struggle is OUR struggle...until the Dawn of Freedom rises./BGNES
