Krivolak, 7 December 2023 (MIA) - EU integration is critical for North Macedonia to address reforms, said United States Ambassador Angela Aggeler on Thursday.

Ambassador Aggeler was quizzed by reporters during a visit to a military exercise at Krivolak army field about the December EU summit and the uncertainty over the accession negotiations due to the impasse regarding the constitutional amendments.

"I think we've been very clear. The United States is not a member of the European Union, and it is our hope that this country finds its way, as quickly as possible, into the Union, because EU integration is critical for this country to address reforms and many of the challenges it faces. I cannot predict what will be decided in Brussels but I hope that changes are made and that political leaders make the decisions they need to move this country forward," said Aggeler.
