Maricic: Country’s Progress Is Recognized by EC

The Deputy Prime Minister in charge of European Affairs, Bojan Maricic, at a joint press conference with the head of the EU Delegation in the country, David Geer, said that North Macedonia received a positive annual report of the European Commission for 2022. “In terms of overall readiness, North Macedonia still stands best in the region in the Fundamental Values ​​Cluster, which is the most important for the dynamics of the negotiations, but also in the Resources, Agriculture and Cohesion Cluster. In the Competitiveness and Inclusive Growth Cluster and the Green Agenda and Sustainable Development Cluster, we are right behind Montenegro and Serbia, which have been negotiating for a decade, while in the Internal Market Cluster and the External Relations Cluster, we are approximately at the same level as these two countries,” said Maricic.
