Defense Minister Zoran Konjanovski met his new Greek counterpart Evangelos Venizelos in Sofia, Bulgaria, at the sidelines of the meeting of ministers of defense of Southeast Europe. The Macedonian defense minister invited his counterpart to visit Macedonia.

“I had a brief conversation with Minister Venizelos. I invited him to visit Macedonia either officially or unofficially.  We talked about continuing cooperation between our two ministries and armies that was in a way interrupted in 2007,” Minister Konjanovski said.
