AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

EU Accession Pressure: The European Parliament adopted North Macedonia’s 2025 progress report, backing EU membership but urging constitutional amendments to open the first negotiating cluster, while keeping Paragraph 73 tied to the Bulgaria-North Macedonia historical commission and demanding “clear and tangible results.” Diplomatic Fallout: Bulgaria reacted strongly to an arson attack on Bulgarian Embassy vehicles in Skopje, summoning North Macedonia’s charge d’affaires and briefing EU partners, as Bulgarian leaders warned the next days could be decisive for the EU vote. Identity and Language Stakes: North Macedonia’s PM Hristijan Mickoski renewed calls for EU guarantees on identity, language and culture, saying no new bilateral conditions should be introduced in accession talks. Border Tensions Eased: The Macedonia Foundation called off a planned June 21 peaceful civil blockade of three Bulgaria–North Macedonia border crossings after appeals from Bulgaria’s ambassador and foreign ministry. Regional Connectivity: Greece positioned itself as a key gateway for EU–Western Balkans transport links, with ministers meeting in Thessaloniki to push faster infrastructure delivery. EU Enlargement Context: MEPs also reviewed Western Balkans accession progress, with Montenegro and Albania highlighted as moving faster than others.
