Question for written answer E-000305/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Emmanouil Kefalogiannis (PPE)
In his recent statements in New Jersey in the United States, the Prime Minister of the government in Skopje referred to an unresolved and ongoing ‘Macedonian’ issue. These statements raise legitimate concerns in Greece, as they seem to violate the spirit and letter of international agreements that are a prerequisite for the government in Skopje’s EU path and support irredentist declarations and claims on neighbouring countries.
Given that adherence to international treaties is essential for the government in Skopje to further progress in its EU accession process, can the Commission say:
- 1.How does it assess the Prime Minister’s statements and their impact on good neighbourly relations and regional stability?
- 2.What measures does it intend to take to ensure that the government in Skopje fully respects its obligations and avoids statements and actions that can negatively impact cooperation with EU Member States and stability in the Balkans?
