According to them, the announcement of the visit to Macedonia and von der Leyen’s agenda will be published this Friday on the official website of The European Commission.
In response to a media question on whether von der Leyen’s visit was aimed at persuading the opposition to vote for the constitutional changes required for the country to continue its accession talks with the European Union, Prime Minister Kovachevski said the decision to adopt the amendments was up to Members of Parliament.
The PM added that North Macedonia “is currently the best in the region” regarding its EU integration reforms.
“The EU, which has already started its own reform process, and given that new members will be admitted, wants to see the country amid its ranks. Because those who are the best should be the first to enter,” Kovachevski said.
