MPO "Pirin" - Chicago: Today there is no place in Europe for the retrograde ideology of the former Yugoslavia !

The EU is a community with common civilizational values, a community that must be intolerant to the practice of falsifications, the use of hate speech and human rights violations, is written in a lettet by MPO " Pirin" - Chicago to the US Congress.

MPO " Pirin" - Chicago, a chapter of the Macedonian Patriotic Organization in the United States and Canada, is one of the oldest immigrant organizations on American soil, celebrating in 2022 one hundred years from its founding.

Throughout the years of our existence we have been fortunate to establish good relations with American political leaders on a state and national level. They have been always supporting our cause - an independent and democratic Macedonia where the predominant group of people, the Bulgarians, would enjoy full freedom and justice.

The "Macedonian question" is something of great importance to almost every Bulgarian. That is why the future acceptance of the Republic of North Macedonia is anticipated with great hope. We believe that finally the truth about our common history could come to light. The official position of the Bulgarian government states that the European integration of the Republic of North Macedonia can begin only after the latter breaks with its totalitarian practices. This position was adopted by consensus of all political forces in the Bulgarian National Assembly in 2019.

MPO "Pirin" - Chicago is looking forward to the accession of the Republic of North Macedonia into the European Union. We hope that the official institutions of the United States will do what is necessary to explain the fundamental principles of democracy, human rights and good interstate relations to the Macedonian authorities. Today there is no place in Europe for the retrograde ideology of the former Yugoslavia ! /BGNES
