European Parliament head urges N. Macedonia not to give up

(ANSA-AP) - SKOPJE, NOVEMBER 4 - The European Parliament's
president is urging North Macedonia not to give up on its hopes
of joining the European Union following its frustrated bid to
start membership talks with the bloc. David Sassoli says the
small Balkan nation must remain committed to its target of
eventually joining the EU. Led by France, some EU members
blocked North Macedonia and Albania in mid-October from starting
membership talks with the block, a move which deeply
disappointed both countries. Speaking after talks with Prime
Minister Zoran Zaev Monday in the capital, Skopje, Sassoli said
that some EU members "have started to reconsider" their position
on the country's accession talks. (ANSA-AP).
