North Macedonia: Man Arrested for Attack on Bulgarian Embassy

Police in North Macedonia have arrested a 54-year-old man as a suspect for the attack on the Bulgarian embassy in Skopje, where he smashed the glass of the main entrance. The incident provoked strong reactions from the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which expressed concern over the lack of response to previous attacks against Bulgarian facilities and the Bulgarian community in North Macedonia. Similar attacks occurred in 2022 on cultural associations of the Bulgarian minority. North Macedonia's Foreign Minister, Timtcho Moutchounski, condemned the vandalism, describing it as an isolated incident.
