The European Union and North Macedonia have signed an settlement on border control cooperation. The accord comes to the EU’s frontier company, Frontex.
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Dimitar Kovačevski, witnessed the signing of the settlement in Skopje.
Von der Leyen is on a 4-day excursion of the Balkans and hinted that North Macedonia’s efforts to transport nearer to the EU circle of relatives are bearing fruit.
“The negotiation process is gaining momentum and does very good work being done and finally indeed on your language. I promised to you that we would get the frontex agreement signed and translate it into the Macedonian language, no footnotes, no asterisks on equal footing with all the 24 languages of the European Union. And today we delivered”.
On her excursion, Ursula von der Leyen hopes to fortify Frontext’s cooperation with the Western Balkans to give a boost to safety on the EU’s exterior borders.
Frontex already conducts joint operations with international locations akin to Albania, Montenegro and Serbia. However, it’s been accused of permitting unlawful pushback of migrants, significantly within the Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey.
