Ce mardi (3 mars 2026), le secrétaire général de l’OTAN, Mark Rutte, était en Macédoine du Nord, où il a rencontré la présidente, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, le premier ministre, Hristijan Mickoski, et le président de l’Assemblée, Afrim Gashi.
M. Rutte a remercié la Macédoine du Nord pour sa contribution à la sécurité euro-atlantique : « Vos troupes servent aux côtés de celles de bien d’autres Alliés dans les forces terrestres avancées déployées en Bulgarie et en Lettonie pour sécuriser le flanc est de l’Alliance, dans le cadre d’un dispositif de dissuasion et de défense crédible ». Il s’est également félicité du soutien, indéfectible, que le pays apporte à l’Ukraine, notamment via l’initiative PURL de l’OTAN.
Le secrétaire général a souligné qu’en 2025, la Macédoine du Nord avait consacré plus de 2 % de son PIB à la défense : « Il s’agit de progrès essentiels au moment où les Alliés définissent des trajectoires réalistes vers l’objectif des 5 % qu’ils se sont engagés à atteindre pour 2035 ».
M. Rutte a déclaré que Skopje jouait un rôle crucial dans la préservation de la stabilité dans les Balkans occidentaux, notamment grâce à ses contributions à la mission de maintien de la paix assurée par la KFOR au Kosovo, sous la direction de l’OTAN. Dans son allocution devant l’Assemblée de Macédoine du Nord, il a indiqué que les Balkans occidentaux demeuraient une priorité pour l’OTAN : « Le passé appartient résolument au passé. Il est irresponsable et dangereux d’user d’une rhétorique clivante, qui ne fait rien avancer. Il ne faut jamais permettre que la paix soit mise en péril. »
Enfin, le secrétaire général s’est rendu avec le ministre de la Défense, Vlado Misajlovski, à la caserne d’Ilinden, où il a remercié le personnel militaire pour son travail.
