The President of the Republic of North Macedonia’s Assembly voiced pleasure with the opportunity to attend the discussion and voting for the Law, which made the North Macedonia a step closer to NATO membership.
The interlocutors emphasised the significance of the Prespa Agreement and North-Atlantic path of North Macedonia for strengthening good neighbourly cooperation and regional stability. They assessed that Montenegro and North Macedonia should work on strengthening economic cooperation, which should follow the existing excellent political relations, among which parliamentary cooperation takes a prominent place.
The President of the Parliament underlined today in his parliamentary speech that Montenegro, as a NATO member, today for the first time in its history, 13 years since renewal of its independence, has had an opportunity to vote on the proposal for admittance of a new state to the Alliance.
