Skopje – Europe consists of compromises, they are an important foundation for the European Union. In the current state of the accession process, there is no veto for your country, said German Ambassador Petra Drexler today at the event on the occasion of Europe Day organized by the European Movement in North Macedonia in cooperation with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

According to her, the basis for EU membership is the reform process.

– Member states agree that negotiations should be initiated, and the German perspective is strengthening Europe both outwardly and inwardly, and we need to find a way to achieve a solution within Europe. Most decisions in the EU are made with a qualified majority, Drexler said.

The German side, she added, can imagine that the number of decisions made by qualified majority should be increased.

– However, the core of our strength is to strive to achieve compromises. We must not give up on compromises. And the beginning and end of negotiations are decisions made unanimously. Nothing has changed in this area, concluded the German Ambassador. (June 4)
