The foreign and European affairs ministers of the EU member countries decided today to open membership negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania in light of the progress made by the two countries and the recommendations in the EU’s interim reports.

As the ministers from the Common Affairs Council held their meeting via videoconferencing, the decision will be made official tomorrow, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry announced.
