In fact, it is a set of several documents, two of which are the most essential – the draft negotiating framework and the draft conclusions of the EU Council for next week’s meeting.

The EU General Affairs Council is expected to adopt the Negotiating Framework for North Macedonia on June 23 this year and to schedule a political intergovernmental conference on the same day. At the same meeting, the council will decide that the next intergovernmental conference to open accession talks will be held as soon as North Macedonia completes the procedure for changing the Constitution to include the Bulgarians in its preamble.
