On 26 October<\/span>, the European Union and North Macedonia signed an agreement on operational cooperation in border management with the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex). The President of the European Commission Ursula\u00a0<\/span>von der Leyen<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and the Prime Minister of North Macedonia Dimitar Kova\u010devski witnessed the signing of the agreement by Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva\u00a0<\/span>Johansson<\/strong>, and Czech Ambassador to North Macedonia Jaroslav Ludva representing the Czech Presidency of the Council, on behalf of the EU, and by Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski, on behalf of North Macedonia.<\/p>\n

Vice-President for Promoting our European Way of Life, Margaritis\u00a0<\/span>Schinas<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>said:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cNorth Macedonia’s ever closer cooperation on migration is part of its EU path. The signature of this status agreement with Frontex is a strong testament to this. Migration is something we can only manage by working together.\u201c<\/em><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva\u00a0<\/span>Johansson<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>said:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI am glad to sign this status agreement today as it will strengthen our cooperation on migration and border management. Frontex will be able to deploy standing corps teams to work hand in hand with border guards of North Macedonia, preventing cross-border crime, in particular smuggling and trafficking of human beings, and ensuring the security of the citizens of North Macedonia and the European Union.\u201d<\/em><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Strengthened operational cooperation between Western Balkans partners and Frontex will contribute to addressing irregular migration and further enhance security at the EU’s external borders. Frontex already deploys around 300 officers in the region, including via joint operations at the Union’s external borders with Albania, Montenegro, and Serbia under the current status agreements. To ensure the implementation of the status agreement, an Operational Plan will be agreed directly between Frontex and the national authorities of North Macedonia. It will allow Frontex to assist North Macedonia in border management, carry out joint operations and deploy personnel both to the border with the EU, as well with borders of neighbouring Western Balkans partners. This will help to address increasing irregular migration and cross-border crime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
