The annual report of the European Commission on Macedonia’s progress is the main topic on the agenda of Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki during his visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. According to unofficial information, Poposki is going to call for an explanation of the denial of the Macedonian language in the EC report at his Monday meeting with Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, however, has not confirmed this information explaining that the “report will be discussed.”

Minister Poposki’s visit is part of Macedonia’s activities with the aim of promoting the dialogue with the European Parliament in the context of the drafting of the Resolution on Macedonia’s progress for 2011, and also as part of the activities for promoting cooperation within the framework of the informal support group in the European Parliament “Friends of Macedonia.”
