“I just got a call from Boyko Borissov. I could not thank him enough for his good opinion that he called me, but I could thank him for his decisive role in removing the VETO in parliament! True friend, true leader. His GERB party and others saved the face of Bulgaria and the EU! “Now the EU must act quickly!” writes Rama on Twitter.

The incumbent President of the Republic of Albania, Ilir Meta, also calls the lifting of the veto on northern Macedonia a long-awaited news from Bulgaria. In a reaction on Facebook, Meta writes that this vote paved the way for Albania to start membership negotiations.
“Finally came the long-awaited news from friendly Bulgaria, which has always been a staunch supporter of our membership process.
The vote by the Bulgarian Parliament to lift the veto on Northern Macedonia paved the way for the start of membership negotiations for both our countries. “Waiting for the next news from the European Council meeting, which is still going on”, writes Meta.
