The US is working for the new government of North Macedonia to respect the Prespa Agreement, underlined the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, James O'Brien.
During a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the US diplomat argued that the contacts of US lawmakers are useful in keeping North Macedonia committed to the agreement.
"North Macedonia has suffered due to disagreements with its neighbors, who are constantly changing their (accession) demands for it. Part of our job is to diplomatically prepare a way for North Macedonia to preserve the agreement it has with Greece. And I think that the meeting you had and others have helped to keep things at this point, so that Greece becomes a friend and not an obstacle to the accession process of North Macedonia. The same for Albania", he emphasized.
Prime Minister Kristian Mickoski and President Gordana Siljanovska have said that they will officially use the constitutional name, but the name "Macedonia" will be used in statements as an act that stems from the right to self-determination and self-determination.
For his part, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis clarified from the NATO Summit in Washington that one of the most important aspects of the Prespa Agreement is the 'erga omnes' use of the constitutional name. This forces the rulers to use North Macedonia both outside and inside the country. Even the American ambassador in Skopje, Angela Angeler, has stated that there is no room for renegotiation of agreements with Greece and Bulgaria. As he pointed out characteristically, "these agreements have been made. No renegotiation of Prespa, no renegotiation of progress towards the EU".
