Skopje, 22 May 2023 (MIA) — Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani on a working visit to Brussels met with European Union Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhelyi and discussed North Macedonia's EU integration process.

Writing on Facebook, Minister Osmani said the focus of the meeting was the country's EU agenda; the high level of the administration's readiness for a successful screening process; and the required constitutional amendments aimed at the country's faster integration into the EU.

"While North Macedonia remains committed to achieving its foreign policy's largest strategic goal through 2030, the EU as well should remain resolutely committed to the accelerated integration of the countries of the region, which would result in tangible economic and social benefits for our citizens," the foreign minister wrote.

Together with other foreign ministers from the region, Osmani is in Brussels to participate in the EU's Foreign Affairs Council session dedicated to the Western Balkans. mr/
