Skopje, 6 March 2023 (MIA) - Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski met Monday with Sir Stuart Peach, the United Kingdom's Special Envoy to the Western Balkans, accompanied by UK Ambassador Matthew Lawson, with the PM highlighting the UK's engagement in the area and the close bilateral ties between the NATO allies.

 

Kovachevski thanked Peach for UK's support to North Macedonia's integration and reform processes, the Government said in a press release.

 

 

Interlocutors saw the EU integration process as key in stimulating positive progress for other open issues in the region. In this regard, they highlighted the need for constructive approach of all political entities in the country as the expense of blockades and destructiveness. 

 

The UK is also supporting North Macedonia's OSCE Chairmanship amid this difficult security period for Europe. In this regard, the Government's policies as a factor of security in the region but also Europe have been saluted, along with the country's foreign policy that is fully aligned with that of European countries in regard to the situation in Ukraine and its contribution to regional stability, reads the press release.
