Osmani: The EU will undermine its own credibility if it fails to validate North Macedonia’s progress
The European Union will undermine its own credibility if it fails to validate North Macedonia’s progress. It would endanger the region’s European perspective and the enlargement process as we know it, Deputy PM for European Affairs Bujar Osmani told The Economist Western Balkans Summit in Skopje on Tuesday.
Deputy PM Osmani voiced assurance over a positive outcome for the country, saying the start of accession negotiations would be an excellent opportunity for everyone to create a more stable, safer, more prosperous Europe.
“A united EU and a stronger consensus will not be considered a problem but an opportunity for all,” added Osmani.
He also referred to current developments related to the EU enlargement in the country and the region, ahead of the Council Summit in October.
“The summit is the key foundation for the future of EU’s integration process and the progress achieved thus far is directly linked to the decision Council,” said the deputy prime minister.
