President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova, as part of her participation in the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York, met with the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres.
At the meeting, President Siljanovska Davkova emphasized the principles of the world organization as the basis on which the international order must function, regardless of whether it is small or large states. She indicated to her interlocutor that in the case of the Macedonian European integration, bilateralization must not become a stumbling block for the expansion of the European Union, which was created as a peace process.
The UN Secretary General Guterres expressed his anger at the meeting because of the obstacles imposed to North Macedonia on the path to the European Union. Saying that he is a great admirer of the Macedonian European integration, in the talks, he expressed his personal solidarity for the country’s efforts to be part of the EU.
The Secretary General, as a good connoisseur of the European integration processes and the situation in the Western Balkans region, said that the Macedonian European integration, fully deserved, should happen as quickly as possible.
