The European Parliament has adopted a resolution acknowledging North Macedonia’s progress toward European Union membership. The resolution highlights the country’s ongoing reforms and its commitment to meeting the criteria required for accession, while also addressing areas where further improvements are needed.
The resolution commends North Macedonia for its efforts in key areas such as judicial reforms, the fight against corruption, and the strengthening of democratic institutions. MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) expressed support for the country’s continued path toward EU integration, noting that North Macedonia has demonstrated a clear commitment to aligning itself with European standards.
However, the resolution also pointed out that additional progress is necessary, particularly in areas related to the rule of law, media freedom, and public administration reforms. The European Parliament urged North Macedonia to continue addressing these challenges to ensure that it can fully meet the conditions for EU membership.
The resolution is seen as a positive step for North Macedonia, reinforcing the European Parliament’s support for the country’s EU aspirations. It also calls on member states to maintain a constructive approach in the ongoing accession negotiations, encouraging further dialogue and cooperation between the EU and North Macedonia.
This development comes at a critical time for North Macedonia, as the country continues its efforts to secure a place within the European Union. The resolution sends a strong signal of support from the European Parliament, emphasizing that the door remains open for North Macedonia’s eventual EU membership, provided that the necessary reforms are fully implemented.
