JANKULOSKA-LANGER: PRAGUE'S
UNRESERVED SUPPORT FOR FULL VISA LIBERALISATION
Interior Minister Gordana Jankuloska late Wednesday in Prague met with the
Czech Interior Minister Ivan Langer.
Jankuloska presented Macedonia's achievements in police reforms,
perspectives for the future cooperation and process of full visa
liberalisation.
Langer reiterated unreserved support by the Czech Republic as the current
holder of the EU Presidency, for the expected visa liberalisation.
- This meeting was of significant importance for the Republic of Macedonia
taking into consideration the fact that the Czech Republic is the current
holder of EU Presidency. Langer gave unreserved support to this process
fully understanding the achievements and successes that the Republic of
Macedonia have on this plan and gave credit to everything that was
accomplished so far. This means that Macedonia is a country that is fully
prepared for establishment of visa free regime with the European Union,
Jankuloska said for MIA. She reminded that passing such decision is a
process, which must pass through certain formal procedure in adequate EU
bodies, but most important is that we have unselfish and unreserved support
of the Czech republic as holder of EU Presidency.
The meeting also was focused on police cooperation i.e. cooperation between
two Interior Ministries at all levels and segments of action which means
projects and operative cooperation at police level and exchange of
information between security services.
Jankuloska said that experience of the Czech Republic is of significant
importance for the Republic of Macedonia and could serve as an example in
many spheres taking into consideration that as the EU member state it passed
very similar path as the Republic of Macedonia.
She announced that in the frames of already started technical level talks on
signing the agreement of police cooperation and combat against organised
crime, they agreed realisation of several visits by teams aimed at
concordance of the details of this document.
Interior Minister Gordana Jankulovska who participates in Prague at the
two-day informal meeting of EU ministers for home affairs and justice,
Thursday will hold bilateral meetings with her colleagues from Netherlands,
Belgium and Spain. |
