EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission Josep Borrell says he cannot promise that the country will start EU accession talks in June.
At Monday’s press conference with the Macedonian Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski, Borrell reiterated that the country’s place is in the EU and that Brussels is doing everything possible for the negotiations to start at the next intergovernmental conference.
“North Macedonia’s place is in the European family. I cannot promise you a date, but I can assure you that we are doing everything we can for the accession talks with Albania and Macedonia to start at the next intergovernmental conference because that is a priority for the EC and for me,” Borrell said.
