Brussels and Skopje to launch second round of talks

On Monday Brussels and Macedonia start another round of high-level talks (the second), intended to increase the reforms to aid future accession negotiations.

In Skopje the EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele will meet the country’s Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski as well as the Vice Prime Minister in charge of European Affairs Teuta Arifi.

Skopje will present an action plan to the EU representative.

The plan envisages about 150 reforms and legal changes in the five areas that Brussels last time identified as weak points.
