Macedonian Prime Minister, Hristijan Mickoski, thanked Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, for today’s reception and for their previous friendly meetings.
He expressed hope that the positive energy from today’s meeting and the good atmosphere would serve as a boost for even better relations, which are already excellent.
“We are aware of the regional challenges and pressures. If we work together, we are stronger. Unity is what should make neighbors stronger,” Mickoski said.
He added that the links between the two countries are not just state-to-state but also familial, and that these should further strengthen cooperation in the coming years.
This year, Mickoski stated that economic cooperation will exceed half a billion euros in trade between the two countries.
“In the years to come, we will work to make economic cooperation even greater,” he said, noting that Kosovo and North Macedonia now have a combined market of 17-18 million people.
Mickoski announced that today energy agreements and agreements on border crossings will be signed.
