Macedonia is making huge progress with the aim of fulfilling its ambition of becoming a member of NATO, NATO Parliamentary Assembly President Jose Lelo stressed in his address in the Macedonian Parliament, which he started by greeting the parliamentarians in Macedonian.

Lelo, who is a firm supporter of the open-door policy for membership in NATO, stressed that this is a very important moment for Macedonia and the region. Within this context, he stressed the issue of Kosovo and the dilemma of what will happen in this region after 10 December if this province declares independence. He believes that Macedonia could play a very important role with regards to this.
