Articoli Correlati: external visits - EU accession talks - Albania and North Macedonia

The President of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, started last month to plan its first external visits. Specifically, he planned to visit and travel in North Macedonia on Monday and Tuesday, November 4^th and 5^th and stay in the city of Skopje. The President is also planning its staying in Tirana, Albania, on December 2^nd and 3^rd. Before its visit to Skopje, President Sassoli stated: “Visiting North Macedonia, and very soon after Albania, is of highest importance to me personally at this moment. We know that the population in both countries has been deeply disappointed by the Council`s failure to agree on the opening of accession talks due to the veto of a few member states. We understand and share this disappointment. Albania and North Macedonia have delivered on the reforms we asked from them and now deserve to be rewarded for their extraordinary efforts. All the more so, I want to call on the citizens and especially on the young generation: Do not give up hope, please remain on the European track. The European Parliament stands with you”.
