Troccaz emphasized France's ongoing support to North Macedonia's EU integration and called for respect for international agreements by all political stakeholders.

On the other hand, Xhaferi expressed confidence that the county will complete the necessary steps to advance the European agenda.

In this regard, he expressed concern over the disregard for the constitutional name by the newly elected president of the state and urged adherence to the memorandum signed by political parties before the elections regarding the prerequisites for our integration into the European Union, reads the press release.

He stressed that it is not a priority for him who will form the new government, but rather the fulfilment of the European agenda.
