The head of delegation of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), Mr. Aleksandar Nikoloski, at the meeting of the Monitoring Committee
Regarding the integration of the country in NATO and the EU, PACE expresses clearly its position that the future of Macedonia is in NATO and the EU and points out the obstacles from Greece. Namely, the resolution states that “The Assembly regrets that the name issue continues to delay the opening of the accession negotiations with the European Union, as repeatedly recommended by the European Commission since 2009, as well as Macedonia’s attempts to join the NATO, despite the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) of 5 December 2011. The Assembly hopes that Greece will adopt a more flexible approach to this issue. The Assembly also invites Macedonia to pursue its dialogue under the auspices of the United Nations with a view to settling the name issue in the near future, and to develop constructive relations with neighbouring countries, thus contributing to the overall stabilisation of the region.”
