Gostivar, 24 January 2023 (MIA) – US Ambassador to North Macedonia, Angela Price Aggeler, said Tuesday that constitutional amendments should be adopted, so that the country can move forward.

According to the Ambassador, the MPs should vote for the country’s progress.

“I know it’s a difficult decision, but the constitutional amendments should be adopted. I know this is not the most popular step, but it is necessary in order to move forward. The MPs should vote for the amendments, so that the country can make progress in the EU accession process. I believe this is key, because that’s where the successful future of this country lies,” said Aggeler in response to a question at the panel discussion “Let’s Talk About the Challenges and the Future of North Macedonia” which was held in the Youth and Community Center (YCC) in Gostivar.

The Ambassador stressed that she is familiar with the positions of the parties, that they have voters and are responsible to them, but she said she believes that “this is in the best interest of North Macedonia” and that this is what she means when she says “a difficult decision”.

“Which is why this is a challenge for now, I believe that if the decision is made and if the MPs vote for it, there will be progress,” said Aggeler. The Ambassador underscored that the difficult decision now is to make the necessary choice for the country to move towards the EU. ad/nn/
