Skopje, 1 July 2025 (MIA) - President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova met Tuesday with the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in Seville.  

Discussing the country’s Euro-integration, according to her Office, Siljanovska-Davkova noted that “the difficult Macedonian compromises should be appropriately valued by the European Union”, adding that the country’s EU accession would be beneficial for both the Union and the candidate states.

Reaffirming the country’s commitment to the Euro-integrations, Siljanovska-Davkova reiterated her position that bilateral issues should not obstruct the accession process.

Siljanovska-Davkova and Sánchez also discussed appropriate ways to commemorate the participation of Macedonian fighters in the Spanish Civil War.
