US Ambassador, Angela Aggeler, said that the message sent by the US senator Chris Murphy is clear that the difficult decisions to advance in the Euro-Atlantic integration should be made by the end of the year. “If the difficult decisions to move forward in Euro-Atlantic integration are not made by the end of the year, there will be people in the United States, in the White House, who will wonder how committed your country is to the European path,” Aggeler said, adding that there is no need to interpret his statement – the senator was clear. Ambassador Aggeler together with the Minister of Defense Slavjanka Petrovska was in Kavadarci at the open day organized within the exercise “Rapid Response 23”.
