He also expressed his satisfaction that the joint committee of the two countries has restarted its work on opening two new border posts, in the area of the Prespa Lake and at Promachi, north of Edessa.

Spasovski said that interborder collaboration and in operations in particular is inevitable, especially in the migration crisis, which has proven burdensome for both countries.

“In the coming period, effort will be made to turn this willingness to improve collaboration into real strategies and operational activities,” he said.
