Expressing immense gratitude for the reception, the prominent and respected members of the US society introduced the President to the motive and inspiration for visiting the country, as one of their three pilgrimage destinations, alongside Greece and Turkiye, pointing out that they see Macedonia as a spiritual and cultural treasury with a rich tradition and historical heritage.
Welcoming their choice for pilgrimage, Siljanovska-Davkova wished them success and expressed confidence that they would take home unforgettable memories and impressions of the authenticity of the country and especially of Ohrid, as part of the biblical and civilizational mosaic.
