Bulgaria claims that North Macedonia\u2019s language and nation only existed since 1945 and it is inviting Macedonian authorities to accept their Bulgarian roots.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bulgarian PM Kiril Petkov is set to travel to Skopje this Tuesday. Petkov has thus far negated the existence of an ethnic-Macedonian minority living in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, North Macedonia has asked to dedicate a unique space in the Macedonian Constitution for the ethnic-Bulgarian minority living in their soil.<\/p>\n<p>The new Macedonian cabinet will be made up of 21 members. The Social-Democratic Association and its smaller allies will have 12 ministries; the Democratic Alliance for Integration will have 6, and Alternative will have 3 ministries.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the total 21 ministers in the new cabinet, 10 are of Albanian descent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/north-macedonia\/2022\/01\/13\/backlash-due-to-new-government-in-n-macedonia-former-pm-slams-agreement-with-bulgaria\/\">Backlash due to new government in N.Macedonia, former PM slams agreement with Bulgaria<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/balkan-talks\/2021\/12\/25\/serbia-is-playing-a-political-game-in-open-balkan-says-ldk-deputy-chair\/\">\u2018Serbia is playing a political game in Open Balkan\u2019, says LDK deputy chair<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2021\/12\/24\/open-balkan-is-pointless-without-kosovo-declares-croatian-president\/\">Open Balkan is pointless without Kosovo, declares Croatian President<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div class=\"spot-im-replies-count\" data-post-id=\"eneu29309\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Sunday at midnight, North Macedonia\u2019s Parliament has adopted the new cabinet of ministers for the country\u2019s new Social-Democratic government, led by Dimitar Kovacevski.
