On 15 January 2010, the Prime Minister of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹, Nikola Gruevski, met with Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at NATO Headquarters. They discussed the country’s contribution to NATO operations, such as in Afghanistan, as well as the country’s progress towards Euro-Atlantic integration.

In speaking to the media, the Secretary General noted the strong public support for NATO membership in the country and reiterated the Alliance’s commitment to seeing the country join the Alliance.

“I believe that Euro-Atlantic integration remains the most effective way to bring lasting stability and prosperity to the strategically important Western Balkans and we would like to see you join the Alliance as soon as the name issue is resolved,” said Mr Rasmussen.

He emphasized, however, that NATO will not get directly involved in the bilateral discussion between Athens and Skopje on the issue of the country’s name. “I would encourage all parties involved to demonstrate pragmatism, and maybe also come up with innovative ideas as to how this challenge can be solved.”

For his part, Prime Minister Gruevski reiterated that membership to NATO, as well as to the EU, is one of his country’s top priorities, and noted that all other obligations of becoming a member have been fullfilled.
