Macedonia’s Foreign Minister Nadezhda Nejnski stated that the current circumstances within the Republic of Macedonia are hindering progress toward a consensus on European matters and that negotiations will be challenging. The situation is complicated by the unresolved border demarcation between Macedonia and its neighboring countries. Border crossing points are situated within the disputed territory, creating difficulties in regulating the movement of people and goods.
Ms. Nejnski emphasized the lack of a clearly defined border as a significant obstacle to achieving a resolution and reaching agreement on broader European issues. The unresolved demarcation and the location of border crossings present ongoing challenges for control and coordination.
