Kovachevski - O'Brien: North Macedonia accomplished a lot, important to continue on EU accession path

Skopje, 10 November 2023 (MIA) - North Macedonia has accomplished a lot and it is important for the country to resume on the European Union accession path, agreed Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, James O'Brien, who assumed the post last month.

Kovachevski and O'Brien reaffirmed the significance of the strong strategic partnership between the two countries, and discussed other developments in the region and beyond, the Government said in a press release.

Kovachevski briefed O'Brien on the latest political developments in North Macedonia and the Government's foreign policy priorities.

Interlocutors highlighted North Macedonia's importance as factor of stability and security in the region, and shared the necessity for unhindered continuation of its European integration path, which is in U.S. interest as well.

O'Brien reaffirmed the position that the United States see as natural partners those committed to European integration, NATO and democracy promotion, while saluting the country's progress in many areas and expecting this to continue in the future, reads the press release.
