Ambassador in Skopje Andrea Silvestri told ANSA on the sidelines of the Balkans Conference. "In July, finally, the accession negotiations started. We are partners on the general level, but we are also supporting them in different areas such as agriculture, good governance, internal affairs, and we are trying to promote more relations on the trade level," Silvestri added, underlining that "European integration is necessary for them."
