North Macedonia’s Minister of Defense, Vlado Misajlovski, said that 42 Stryker combat vehicles are expected to arrive in the country this year as part of an agreement signed with the United States. Explaining the matter, Misajlovski emphasized that the issue concerns a technical amendment.
He noted that 17 vehicles are already at a port in Greece and that a technical agreement must be approved at the request of the United States, serving as an amendment for the installation of all accompanying equipment.
“This is a technical agreement, meaning a technical amendment, because as you know, an agreement was signed with the United States for 42 Stryker combat vehicles. All of them will arrive this year. Seventeen are already at a port in Greece, and a technical amendment is required to be approved at the request of the United States for the installation of all the equipment that arrives, and so on. The end user is the Ministry of Defense, and full training must be conducted.
This is a technical (amendment), as required by the United States, to conclude an agreement so that all of them can then be taken over and remain fully with the Army. There is nothing additional; the agreement is in order. All of them will arrive this year,” Misajlovski said.
