On Friday, the new Head of the EU Delegation, Ambassador David Geer arrived in Skopje. “Looking forward to getting to know the whole country and its people, while providing support to its EU integration,” he said in a tweet. At his meeting with Bujar Osmani the same day, the Foreign Minister said Geer’s arrival was taking place in an exceptionally important moment for Skopje in terms of the EU integration path. As he added, the belief and expectation is that Member States in the frames of the German Presidency will soon agree on the negotiating framework and that the inter-governmental conference will be held before the end of the year. “We rely on your experience and honest support on this path, which will represent historic joint success already the start of your term,” the Minister noted.
