WASHINGTON, DC – by Petros Kasfikis
A representative of the State Department reaffirmed the United States’ unwavering commitment to the Prespa Agreement and the integration of North Macedonia into Euro-Atlantic institutions, following recent elections in the neighboring country.
The spokesperson responded to questions regarding the new President’s, Siljanovska – Davkova, use of the term “Macedonia” instead of “North Macedonia,” as stipulated in the constitutional name, during the swearing-in ceremony. This was a violation of the Prespa Agreement, which mandates the use of “North Macedonia” for all official purposes.
The State Department spokesperson emphasized that “the United States remains steadfastly dedicated to upholding the Prespa Agreement and supporting North Macedonia’s Euro-Atlantic integration. As a new government is established and a prime minister is selected, we will continue to stress the importance of honoring international agreements and highlight the advantages of full European Union membership.”
