"Dutch Ambassador Dirk Jan Kop met with DUI leader Ali Ahmeti to convey the message that after a two year steady decline in the Rule of Law, the commitment of North Macedonia to EU membership is at risk across the political spectrum," the Embassy of the Netherlands in North Macedonia wrote on Facebook.

According to the photograph attached the meeting took place at DUI headquarters, the text highlighted the Embassy's position on the political influence on Supreme Court President, Besa Ademi.
