Tensions have escalated between Bulgaria and North Macedonia following a diplomatic incident involving the absence of the North Macedonian flag in a photo of the two countries' presidents in Sofia. North Macedonia's Foreign Ministry plans to summon Bulgarian Ambassador Zhelyazko Radukov on Monday to explain the omission. Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has attempted to clarify the situation during an informal visit, while North Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski expressed hope for continued fair talks in the Joint Commission on Historical and Educational Issues. However, the situation worsened after North Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Nikoloski labeled Bulgarians as 'uncivilized' and 'miserable,' leading Bulgarian politicians, including Boyko Borissov, to demand his resignation. Tensions further rose after the Deputy PM's sharp criticism.
