The Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski Channel 5 interview said that we have strong support from the EU and the USA and that now is the moment for a decision - to ensure European integration and the European future.

Kovacevski gave the interview in Bratislava, where he met today with the President of France. Emmanuel Macron and with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. He also met with senior representatives of the American authorities.

- The messages are very clear, we have strong and unequivocal support, now is the moment for North Macedonia to make the necessary decisions that will ensure European integration and the European future of our country. The geopolitical moment of EU member states' consent to enlargement should now be used, Kovacevski says, adding that "the messages from our other strategic partners, including the United States, are no different."

.

"Senator Chris Murphy, who is one of the senators in the US Senate who is involved in US foreign policy, had a very clear message which if you look at it is no different from the messages of the German Chancellor, or from the message of Secretary of State Blinken or from the messages of the ambassadors in our country, including the American ambassador. Now is the time for Macedonia to take the decisions on continuing the negotiations with the EU and joining the EU. Absolutely, in the USA, but also in NATO and in our partner countries in the EU, there is an opinion that in our country now is the moment when we should take the step forward. Let's all show together that we are a partner of the USA, the EU and NATO. And that this Government advocates that as well as our citizens. Our citizens have always been on the right side of history, that we stand for democratic values ​​and integration of the state in the EU. The message was very clear that those who are against such a policy will practically not find support from politicians, diplomats in the countries of our strategic partners, Kovacevski said in the interview.
