Orhan Murtezani Begins His Term as North Macedonia’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to NATO

Orhan Murtezani began his duties today as Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Republic of North Macedonia to NATO.

In a public statement, he described the position as a new stage in his career, but also as a continuation of his commitment to strengthening the country’s role within the Euro-Atlantic family.

“A new position, the same responsibility,” Murtezani wrote, underscoring that his objective is for North Macedonia to remain a secure state, a reliable ally, and a country with a strong voice and a distinctive contribution to NATO.

He noted that, at a time when security cannot be considered guaranteed, NATO membership entails not only privileges but also responsibilities.

Murtezani emphasized that this marks a new professional chapter for him, while his commitment remains the same: for North Macedonia to be secure, a reliable partner, and an active state in the Euro-Atlantic family.
