North Macedonia is commemorating six years as a member of NATO, occurring alongside ongoing internal disagreements within the alliance. Gazeta Express reported on March 27, 2026, at 11:13. This milestone marks precisely six years since North Macedonia’s accession to NATO.
The country’s official entry into NATO occurred on March 27, 2020. Subsequently, on March 30th, the Macedonian flag was hoisted at NATO headquarters in Brussels, signifying its status as the alliance’s thirty-first member. The Supreme Command of Allied Forces (SHAPE), based in Mons, Belgium, and the Allied Command for Transformation in Norfolk, Virginia, USA, were present during this significant event.
The dedication to Euro-Atlantic integration began in 1993, when parliament passed a resolution establishing North Macedonia’s foreign policy objectives, prioritizing membership in both NATO and the European Union. This partnership solidified in November 1995, when North Macedonia became a Partner in the alliance, furthering its commitment to security and cooperation within the broader NATO framework. The six-year anniversary underscores North Macedonia’s continued role and contribution to the alliance’s operations and goals.
