At a joint press-conference with Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani on Tuesday, PM Dimitar Kovacevski said the Government had adopted at its previous session the plan for activities arising from the Strategic Dialogue with the US. “We confirm the strong signal that the US is a strategic partner of ours, which, to us, as a country, is of big importance,” the PM noted. He added that it was very important that the US administration had taken all necessary steps for the country to finish the EU talks as soon as possible. Strengthening the bilateral relations with the US, in the PM’s view, means modern laws, an unconditionally independent fight against corruption and crime, just judiciary, but also legal and economic security of North Macedonia. Osmani stated that the first area of intensified cooperation was the rule of law and fight against corruption.
