President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova commented on recent developments concerning the European Union’s enlargement process, assessing that initiatives aimed at limiting the use of the veto power represent a positive development. However, she cautioned that definitive evaluations should await the publication of official documentation. Speaking after an event at the Bar Association of the Republic of North Macedonia, the President stated her view that efforts to moderate the veto right within the enlargement framework are constructive.
She expressed that the primary focus for Macedonia should remain on meeting the established Copenhagen criteria for membership. According to Siljanovska-Davkova, the obstacles currently impeding Macedonia’s path toward European integration are what she described as “irrational.” She emphasized that while the discussions surrounding institutional reforms are valuable, concrete progress requires adherence to established benchmarks. The President maintained that while the movement toward limiting veto power is encouraging, making final assessments prematurely would be inaccurate.
Her statements underscore a consistent call for tangible policy alignment with EU standards. By focusing on these criteria, Davkova aims to guide national efforts toward a predictable and structured integration pathway, ensuring that diplomatic progress is underpinned by measurable reform achievements.
