The Administrative Court in the Republic of North Macedonia has ruled in a second instance that Bulgarian MEP Andrey Kovatchev was lawfully not allowed into the country on May 6, 2023, BGNES reported.
The reasons are that he undermined “the security, fundamental values and interests of the state”, which is why his appeal was rejected.
The Bulgarian MEP said that he would appeal the decision in a third instance, and then refer the case to Strasbourg.
On May 6, 2023, the Macedonian border police did not allow Kovatchev, philanthropist and businessman Milen Vrabevski and three other Bulgarian citizens to enter the country. All of them, as every year on May 6, traveled to participate in the funeral service at the Bulgarian military cemetery in Novo Selo, Strumica.
