No Alternative to EU Membership, Says Foreign Minister Osmani

“To us, there is no alternative to this region someday becoming part of the European Union,” Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani said on Tuesday, at a press-conference in Turkiye with Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu. According to Osmani, North Macedonia will continue the efforts to overcome the differences with Sofia. As the Minister also pointed out, despite the duration of the EU path, North Macedonia still hasn’t started negotiations due to different challenges not directly related to the EU and meeting of criteria. Sure enough, in Osmani’s view, the delay has created dissatisfaction and disappointment among citizens.
