The Czech Republic is fully prepared to support Macedonia in its preparations for joining the EU and NATO, said Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka after meeting his Macedonian counterpart Nikola Gruevski in Prague on Thursday.  The Czech Republic believes that when conditions are met, there are no reasons to object to Macedonia's membership of NATO and opening EU accession talks.

"We are going to continue to be active in supporting EU and NATO enlargement as far as Macedonia is concerned.  The Czech Republic has long been supporting the Republic of Macedonia on its way to European and Euro-Atlantic integration and we have positive assessments of the steps Macedonia has been taking to prepare for its membership of these organizations," Sobotka said.
