Macedonian Minister of Interior Oliver Spasovski attended the 23rd meeting of the Police Cooperation Convention for Southeast Europe Committee of Ministers in Bucharest on Wednesday, chaired by Romania’s Ministry of Interior, titled ‘Preventing Migrant Smuggling and the Impact of the War in Ukraine on Police Cooperation’.
Highlighting the current military and political and security crisis in the Near and Middle East, the war in Ukraine, the unfavorable economic and social situation in home countries as significant factors affecting the entry and transit of illegal immigrants across the country, Minister Spasovski said that the established Western Balkans route, which has favorable geographical configuration, allows for a quick and easy access from the Greek to the Macedonian-Serbian border, and other EU countries.
