Personal Documents Issue: Latest Reactions

On Wednesday, caretaker Interior Minister Pance Toskovski said citizens couldn’t enter Montenegro with passports containing the old constitutional name of the country.

However, he added that foreign countries had more understanding for North Macedonia’s citizens than the SDSM-DUI government.

According to information he’s received from ambassadors and citizens, though citizens cannot enter Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro with personal documents not containing the new constitutional name, if they enter Serbia, Kosovo, and Albania with an ID with the old name, then, they can use the passports to travel to all EU countries and also outside the EU, Sitel reported.

As he added, though the Ministry has increased its capacity for passports, limits regarding the printing are still an obstacle.
