Those who make decisions and implement reforms will be the first to join the EU, whereas the ones who don’t will enter the Union when they show courage for this, Macedonian Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski told a press conference within the Berlin Process Summit in Tirana on Monday.
Quizzed by reporters whether he had talked with Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte over his position of not giving enlargement deadlines, PM Kovachevski said The Netherlands is North Macedonia’s big friend and added that better prepared countries will join the EU faster.
The PM added that North Macedonia is an example of this, since the country started the EU path together with Croatia, which is now an EU member and part of the Schengen area.
