Announcing the start of a new chapter in his service to the country’s European integration, Fetai said the decision to appoint him was made at yesterday’s session of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia.
According to him, the role entrusted to him includes working to advance the country’s EU integration process, strengthening political support within European institutions and member states, and helping to overcome political and diplomatic challenges. He also aims to ensure that North Macedonia’s voice is heard more strongly and has a greater presence both in Brussels and in European capitals.
