Религиозните идентичности и тяхното влияние върху двустранните отношения между България и Северна Македония в контекста на регионалната интеграция в Европейския съюз
Religious identities and their influence on bilateral relations between Bulgaria and North Macedonia in the context of regional integration in the European Union

Summary/Abstract: Religious identities play a crucial role in shaping bilateral relations between Bulgaria and North Macedonia, particularly within the context of regional integration into the European Union. These identities, rooted in deep historical and cultural backgrounds, influence political and diplomatic interactions between the two nations. The ongoing dispute over the canonical recognition of the Macedonian Orthodox Church by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church highlights how religious affiliations can become pivotal in nationalistic and political agendas. As North Macedonia seeks to integrate into the EU, these religious dynamics complicate diplomatic efforts and regional cooperation. Understanding the impact of religious identities on bilateral relations is essential for navigating the complexities of EU integration and fostering stable, cooperative relationships in the region.
