As soldiers, you should be proud of being the first generation to serve its country as a NATO member. Our membership into the Alliance will open greater opportunities for you. ARM has been participating in peace missions for years side by side with other armies of NATO members, for which it has been highly graded. Participation in these mission helped ARM boost its capacities,” PM Zaev said noting that Macedonia would be sitting at the same table with some of the world’s greatest powers.
