Delchevo Residents Reject Support for Doctor Accused in Dog’s Death

People in Delchevo haven’t rallied behind Dr. Nenad Tsonevski, who faces accusations related to the death of a 14-year-old dog named Maya in Sofia. A check by the Telegraph found that North Macedonian Facebook groups, including the local Delchevo Dnes community, largely haven’t offered support to the VMA specialist who hit the dog on November 9th.

• “Anyone can accidentally hit a dog, but to get out of the car, see you’ve hurt an innocent animal, and then just drive away like nothing happened? that’s not right,” wrote Nena Panova.
• “He can’t hide forever in Delchevo. He won’t be able to travel within the European Union. It’s better he turn himself in. There’s no supporting someone so immoral.I don’t get his supporters – they’re misguided,” added Nada.
• “He showed no concern at all. What kind of doctor is that? Just drove off. A killer,” commented Boki.
• “No support for him.Being academically successful doesn’t automatically mean you’re humane or empathetic.The world is full of injustice,” shared local resident Vitanova.
• “He came back to Macedonia. what’s he doing here? We don’t want people like that. We don’t need psychopaths,” Viktoria Despodovska stated firmly.

Local Reaction

Dr. Tsonevski does have some support within the community, but it’s substantially outweighed by the general disapproval. He was known as a good student during his time at the local “Metodi Mitevski-Britzo” secondary school.

As a student, he didn’t cause any trouble and completed his education in 2014. He then went on to study in Bulgaria.

Locals believe he likely entered Bulgaria’s educational system through a program for people of Bulgarian origin – often referred to as admission under Decree No. 103. This program offers free education to students who can prove Bulgarian ancestry. They bypass the general competitive exam and are admitted based on their secondary school grades and a specific quota set by the Ministry of Education and Science.
