Talks on North Macedonia's EU membership must begin - Czech PM

Czech PM Andrej Babis expects the EU summit in March to support EU accession talks with Northern Macedonia, he said after meeting North Macedonian PM Zoran Zaev today. Babis said he is positive that the accession talks must be approved in March since North Macedonia fulfilled all prerequisites set by the European Council and the European Commission, especially a thorough reform process, an agreement on changing the country's name, a referendum as well as a change to its constitution.
