The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the principal core of generation and acquisition of international credibility and accession to international organizations. Crystal clear is the message of building a joint European and world future as a country ready to join the EU and NATO, said Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki at the ceremony of opening the new building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Skopje Tuesday.

After twenty years of independence, the Macedonian diplomatic service received accommodation capacities that suit a future member state of the EU and NATO, Minister Poposki said.

The opening ceremony was attended by diplomats, ambassadors, former ministers and Members of Parliament, who had the opportunity to see the new offices in the seven-storey building. During the cocktail party on the terrace overlooking the center of Skopje, the ambassadors, including Alexandra Papadopoulou, Head of the Greek Liaison Office, were afforded an opportunity to see the statues of some of the most famous people in world history, such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, etc.
