"The United States encourages the government of North Macedonia to take all necessary measures to achieve the best possible future for the country," the US State Department announced, BGNES reported.
"The United States encourages the government of North Macedonia to take all possible measures to achieve the best possible future for the country," the department added.
"This includes reforms in the justice, health, and education sectors that will pave the way for full EU integration," a State Department spokesman said.
When asked whether American diplomacy helps to overcome the impasse with the impossibility of accepting constitutional changes as a prerequisite for progress in the pre-accession negotiations with the EU, the spokesman replied that the solution to this issue should be sought in the upcoming elections.
"We hope that in the upcoming elections, voters will demand transparency and accountability from elected officials and demand a stronger, better, and more prosperous country, which they deserve," said the spokesperson.
He recalled that during his recent visit to the country, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia James O'Brien pointed the way for the development of North Macedonia. /BGNES
