During the visit, as announced by the Assembly’s press service, meetings are scheduled with Thomas Waitz, rapporteur for North Macedonia in the EP, and with Thijs Reuten, shadow rapporteur from the Social Democrats’ political group.

According to the agenda, tomorrow, on the initiative of NATO’s Public Diplomacy Department, a working visit to NATO headquarters will be organized for Gashi and a delegation of parliamentarians, including VMRO-DPMNE coordinator Nikola Micevski, SDSM coordinator Oliver Spasovski, VMRO’s deputy coordinator Merita Kolchi-Kodzadziku, DUI’s deputy coordinator Arbana Pasoli, ZNAM’s representative Pavle Arsoski, and the head of the Assembly’s Delegation in NATO’s PS Dragan Kovački.
