Majlinda Bregu, the Secretary General of the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), participated in the annual Prespa Forum Dialogue (PFD) 2023 held in Struga, North Macedonia on 15th and 16th June 2023. During the event, she accepted the PFD Award on behalf of the RCC, spoke at a panel on regional cooperation, and held productive bilateral meetings with EU and regional officials.

Expressing her gratitude, Ms Bregu stated, “Thank you, Prime Minister Kovachevski. This esteemed Award holds great significance for the RCC. Fifteen years is a pivotal period that marks the transition from childhood to maturity. The Balkans have long been known for their diverse tapestry of cultures, languages, and painful conflicts. However, it is precisely within this rich diversity that the true potential for cooperation lies.” She received the Award from North Macedonia’s Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski during a ceremony in Struga.

The Prespa Forum Dialogue (PFD) serves as a platform established by the Government of North Macedonia to bring together leaders, organizations, think tanks, and citizens. It aims to cultivate long-term relationships, strengthen partnerships, and foster dialogue to promote regional cooperation and development.
