Similar promise for supporting Macedonia's aspirations for becoming part of the Euro-Atlantic institutions was declared to Elenovski by probably the most influential lobby group in the US - the American-Jewish Committee. Elenovski's meeting with the Committee's Board referred to the Macedonian Government's close cooperation with the Jewish community in the country and in particular its readiness to complete the Memorial Holocaust Center in Skopje.
Congressman Frank Wolf, known to the US public as strong supporter of human rights and freedoms, expressed satisfaction with the join presentation of the Macedonian and Albanian Defense Ministers. Elenovski on his part extended gratitude for the US great support of two significant projects - the Adriatic Group and Macedonia's constitutional name.
