The progress of North Macedonia on the way to the European Union will depend to a large extent on the successful suppression of corruption, there are many things that need to be done, but you have our support, emphasized the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in the country. Anke Holstein at today's press conference after handing over the donated equipment to the Ministry of the Interior.

She said that in the accession process to the EU, the chapter on the rule of law is one big framework, that is, it is the chapter that is opened first and created last.

- There are many things that need to be done, and that is the case of North Macedonia, and that is what my president said during his visit. In particular, how quickly North Macedonia will make progress on its path to the EU depends on how quickly the reforms will be implemented. And we all agree that it is a particularly difficult task that lies ahead, and this applies not only to politicians, but also to all people who need to understand that when they go to the doctor, they should not leave a banknote in his coat, or the teacher should know that she should not receive a gift from the student for March 8 in order to have a better grade and everyone should learn, both the smallest and the largest, how the fight against corruption is conducted, said the ambassador.

The Minister of Internal Affairs Oliver Spasovski, on the other hand, says that in the Ministry of the Interior "there is no room for selectivity for persons who commit offenses".

- You see for yourself on Saturday and Sunday there were MPs punished in the Assembly, I want to say that there is absolutely no question of selectivity and any shared information in the area of ​​criminal prosecution would be of great use to us, said Spasovski.
