Bled, 28 August 2023 (MIA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs Bujar Osmani said Monday he is convinced that the constitutional amendments process will end successfully in the coming weeks or months.

“The process has already begun, as you can see the entire world, both the United States and the EU, have welcomed the decision to begin the process. I am convinced that this process will end successfully in the coming weeks and months,” Osmani told MIA during his participation in the Bled Strategic Forum.

The Foreign Minister said the Forum is one more platform to be used to send a message that more meaningful steps forward should be made for the Western Balkans’ integration into the EU by 2030.

“This is yet another platform where we, and the Western Balkan countries, can meet with the European Union to send the message that more meaningful steps forward must be made in the process in this new geopolitical context in which Europe finds itself, and that this decade must be the decade of the Western Balkans. I think these are the messages of both sides, that the Western Balkans should be a part of the EU by 2030,” said Osmani.

In Bled, the Foreign Minister met with the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea, Park Jin, and he said he expects greater cooperation in the coming period, especially concerning the economy and investments.

“We established diplomatic relations with the Republic of Korea in 2018, we are still building trust and bilateral relations. This was the first meeting with the Minister and we agreed to continue political consultations and bilateral meetings in Seoul and in Skopje, so we can expand the contractual framework as the basis for larger investments and economic cooperation. We expect big companies from the Republic of Korea to come to Skopje in order to see the investment opportunities,” said Osmani.
