Finally good news came during this difficult time – Brussels gave the green light to North Macedonia to start accession negotiations with the European Union. This represents a very important step for the future of our state, which implies the development of social welfare in every field. North Macedonia and Albania emerge as key drivers of economic development and regional co-operation in the Western Balkans. In order to integrate our country into the EU family as soon as possible, we urge that the chambers of commerce be included in the negotiation process. Congratulations!
