- Five US congressmen who support Macedonia for its NATO membership arrived Thursday to Macedonia and met with President Gjorge Ivanov and Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. The goal of the meetings is to make a plan on how Macedonia can lobby for a NATO membership at the Summit in Chicago.
PM Nikola Gruevski extended gratitude for the initiative, thus far supported by 54 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, Macedonia to be invited to join NATO at the forthcoming Chicago Summit.
