In honor of the Joint Operations Command Day, Army members were honored and praised at the ceremony, who have shown exceptional dedication over the past year, to whom President Pendarovski sincerely congratulated on their engagement.

On the eve of the full membership of North Macedonia in NATO, the focus of the talks was on the situation and readiness of our Army. In this regard, the interlocutors agreed that our Army is equal to the armies of the other member states of the Alliance and that the membership of North Macedonia in NATO will rapidly contribute to an even greater strengthening of the Army’s capabilities.
