Serbian power brokers have played Bulgaria as an antagonist throughout decades of political and ethnic engineering in the wider region, most explicitly in Macedonia.
Now Vucic’s regime starts a narrative of Bulgaria being behind the “color revolution” of its home-grown students movement. This screams desperation.
It has always astonished me how retirement has never been an alternative for authoritarians. Their earlier choices doom them to struggle for the rest of their lives.
@tentaclius @mapto@feddit.bg I actually thought it’s easy to get residence and work permit. In my head it is then only a matter of time. So it isn’t then?

Not quite easy, but possible. The problems begin when current national passport expires: it is only possible to prolong the document by returning to Belarus, which is very risky for many migrants. In many European countries this problem is recognized, but Bulgaria is just too far away from Belarusian politics to be bothered.
@tentaclius @mapto@feddit.bg Bulgarian pot bellies are too far away from anything different than making money. This wouldn’t have been such a big problem per se if Bulgarians weren’t too far away from getting them removed. I guess without your first passport, you’re better off elsewhere unfortunately.
