Abstract
The paper discusses historical reconciliation in the Republic of North Macedonia as a necessary and unavoidable condition for stopping ethnic confrontation, persecution and rights violations of citizens with Bulgarian ethnic identity, and for creating a new model of relations in the country. The author proposes several specific measures aimed at achieving reconciliation, especially rehabilitation of the Macedonian Bulgarians, sentenced for their pro-Bulgarian activities, and constitution of Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the Republic of North Macedonia.
