Progress and Lack of in Bulgarian-North Macedonian Commission, May 2022<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">After some progress in bilateral meetings was reported in April, now the Bulgarian co-chair declared the opposite to be true. One sticking point is conceptual difference over what history they are dealing with: while Bulgarians prefer"common history" whereas North Macedonians prefer "shared history." "The problem is that our colleagues are trying not to accept the term ‘common history.’When you do not accept the existence of a historical phenomenon that is even described in the Good Neighbour Agreement, because they are not talking about ‘common history’ but ‘shared history’, then there is an escape from the desire to make a serious critical analysis of one's own past. And this is the big problem." - pointed out Prof. Angel Dimitrov.

The commission, which is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland and the University of Warsaw, will be functional until 2021 and study the history of Georgia-Poland bilateral relations. According to a press release from the Georgian Ministry of Defense after a visit by the group: "The mutual national interest of two countries and similarities in aspirations of Georgian and Polish people was evident even in the 19 century. The founders of the Democratic Republic of Georgia were educated in Poland. In 1917-1918 both nations gained independence. By the end of the last century, the diplomatic ties between Georgia and Poland were restored and for many years now, Poland remains as an active supporter for Georgia’s territorial integrity and Euro-Atlantic integration."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 8.5px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrtLMeQRoOCoTpPpyUvU3BidF-Pu-bQSaP9Gtqp8i1KPnokIESkLy-efCOWbIhyzbAI-UkstLO2JE-jn9w2IWfgyysOnCAtGrUp3213pz8THt0H8RSAstoNthcKvg9Iij1VY0gRg3njSk/s1280/IMG_4595.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrtLMeQRoOCoTpPpyUvU3BidF-Pu-bQSaP9Gtqp8i1KPnokIESkLy-efCOWbIhyzbAI-UkstLO2JE-jn9w2IWfgyysOnCAtGrUp3213pz8THt0H8RSAstoNthcKvg9Iij1VY0gRg3njSk/w426-h240/IMG_4595.jpeg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><p></p>DQYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14062441593025026579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015859376894900538.post-45764237643167271322021-09-30T06:30:00.002-07:002022-11-10T19:22:44.539-08:002021 Annual Meeting of the German-Russian Historians Commission took place online<p> For further information as well as video recordings, see <a href="https://www.rossijsko-germanskaja-komissija-istorikov.ru/ru/kollokvium-2021-s-videomat/" target="_blank">here</a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ouqhtgnRLoarnLz50FU-2s7oMGg0yAkx1WtjTEC60iiqLoSZvOylyiDJ3hzEo2gKCyQ7XtKtVLt-Ay3PGTAZJO3PEzLVxIT7udeMEdtV40c_9xVInpwDADMBxXQbxRJNSP8juQGnZPY/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1222" data-original-width="2573" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ouqhtgnRLoarnLz50FU-2s7oMGg0yAkx1WtjTEC60iiqLoSZvOylyiDJ3hzEo2gKCyQ7XtKtVLt-Ay3PGTAZJO3PEzLVxIT7udeMEdtV40c_9xVInpwDADMBxXQbxRJNSP8juQGnZPY/w543-h258/image.png" width="543" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>DQYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14062441593025026579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015859376894900538.post-61961549847381432402021-06-08T12:22:00.001-07:002021-06-08T12:28:26.118-07:00Russian-Lithuanian Historians' Commission releases joint publication<p>On May 11, 2021, the Russian-Lithuanian Historians' Commission released a joint publication of documents <i>Lithuania and Russia, 1917-1920</i> in Moscow.
