Plenkovic: We will do our best North Macedonia to open accession talks in June

He also said that EU enlargement would be high on the agenda when his country is to take over the rotating EU Presidency next year.

“All our friends in what is now North Macedonia are fully aware how much we supported their European path,” PM Plenkovic said.

“It should be noted for those who are not familiar with details that Macedonia concluded the Stabilization and Association agreement even before Croatia, they actually initialed the SAA on the margins of the Zagreb summit 19 years ago, if there’s a country that understands the mood and is firmly convinced that after the agreement between Greece and Macedonia and to change the name they deserve a step forward it’s Croatia,” said Plenkovic.

“We will do our best to support this direction, but first we will see what the Commission will recommend in the reports at the end of May,” said PM Plenkovic.
