FM MITREVA'S MEETINGS IN FINLAND
Macedonian Foreign Minister Ilinka Mitreva, who is paying a two-day official
visit to Finland, had separate meetings Wednesday with her Finnish
counterpart Erkki Tuomioja, Parliament Deputy Speaker Markku Koski,
Parliament Grand Committee Chairman Jari Vilen and Foreign Policy Committee
President Lisa Yoakonasaari.
At the meeting with Tuomioja, Mitreva referred to Macedonia's progress in
meting the Copenhagen criteria, as the only prerequisite for the European
Union membership.
The Ministers also discussed on the development of Macedonia's economy,
because, as Mitreva said, the Government intends for the country to also
become a successful economic story. For Mitreva, now is the real time for
investing in Macedonia - a message that will be delivered tomorrow at a
presentation of the Macedonian economy to Finnish businessmen.
"This year is crucial for the process of Macedonia's Euro-integration. We
expect the European Commission positive avis this fall, which is grounded on
the statements of support and encouragement by Euro-Commissioner Olli Rehn.
We expect for the positive avis to be followed by acquiring a
candidate-country status at the EU Summit in December and setting the date
for start of membership negotiations," Mitreva said.
The Finnish Foreign Minister welcomed Macedonia's progress on its road to
the EU, saying that Finland is ready to share its experience with the
integration process and economic development. He said that Macedonia had
chosen the right path to the Euro-integration by launching reforms in the
judicial system, combat against organised crime and corruption.
Parliament Deputy Speaker Markku Koski gave credit to Macedonia for its
progress in the last three years, saying that the country has become
credible partner.
Mitreva's meeting with Parliament Grand Committee Chairman Jari Vilen was
focused on the parliamentary cooperation. In that respect, Vilen said a
Finnish delegation would visit Macedonia this year.
Mitreva presented Macedonia's foreign policy priorities to Foreign Policy
Committee President Lisa Yoakonasaari.
