LITHUANIA BACKS MACEDONIA REGARDING
EU AND NATO MEMBERSHIP
Macedonia has firm support in terms of EU and NATO membership. In addition
to favourable political ties, the two countries should make more efforts in
intensifying and developing the economic relations, observed Macedonian
Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki and his Lithuanian counterpart Petras
Vaitiekunas following their meeting on Wednesday in Skopje.
- Macedonia may always count on Lithuanian support with regard to EU and
Euro-Atlantic integration, said Vaitiekunas, underlining that 68% of the
citizens in his country were in favour of the Union's enlargement, according
to recent polls.
- I'm pleasantly surprised by the economic and political progress of
Macedonia and I expect it to be included in the European Commission's
November report, said the Lithuanian Foreign Minister. He said he expected
Macedonia to receive NATO membership invitation at the forthcoming NATO
Summit.
FM Milososki said Macedonia was willing to remake Lithuania's success on the
road towards NATO membership, adding Macedonia was also interested in the
Lithuanian experience considering the EU accession.
Both ministers said they expected the favourable political cooperation to be
reflected into the economic ties. An agreement on double tax evasion - due
to be signed by the foreign ministers in the Macedonian Government's
building - will be a step forward in accomplishing the goal.
Over the course of his visit, Minister Vaitiekunas is accompanied by a
number of Lithuanian businessmen, who are due to be briefed on the
investment opportunities in Macedonia.
- The Lithuanian businessmen invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the
region and they are prepared to invest in Macedonia as well, said
Vaitiekunas, announcing that Macedonian businessmen were invited to inspect
the business potentials in Lithuania.
Vaitiekunas' three-day stay to Macedonia resumes Wednesday with separate
meetings with President Branko Crvenkovski, PM Nikola Gruevski and
Parliament Speaker Ljubisa Georgievski. Both Vaitiekunas and Milososki are
set to visit Ohrid this afternoon. |
