Skopje, 7 October 2022 (MIA) - Police prevented an incident at Friday's protest against the opening of the Bulgarian culture club "Tsar Boris III" in Ohrid, when a group of protesters attempted to break through the police cordon. Chanting "Tatars", protesters are also throwing eggs and rocks at the premises of the Bulgarian club. The party Levica is organizing a protest before the opening, which is also backed by the largest opposition party, VMRO-DPMNE. On Thursday, VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski called on people to protest “en masse” in a peaceful and democratic manner. The opening of the “Tsar Boris III” Culture Club in Ohrid has stirred controversy and public backlash. Several protesters have told reporters that they don't protest against the opening of such clubs, but against the name used to name the club. Boris III of Bulgaria was crowned Tsar of Bulgarians in 1918 after the abdication of his father Ferdinand following Bulgaria's defeat in the First Balkan War. During the rule of Boris III, widely known as the "Unifying Tsar in Bulgarian history, Bulgaria had joined the pact made by Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and militarist Japan. In 1941, he had allowed German forces from the territory of Bulgaria to launch an aggression against the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. As a reward, Bulgaria got territories from the disintegrating Yugoslavian state and Greece, including large portions of what is today North Macedonia. Boris III died unexpectedly in 1943 after a visit to meet with Germany's Hitler.
