North Macedonian President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova has publicly called for the European Union to reassess its current methodology for accession negotiations. She argues the existing approach, which she characterizes as one of passively accepting directives, is unproductive. Siljanovska Davkova believes the EU needs to engage in a more collaborative and thoughtful dialogue with candidate countries. Her statement implies dissatisfaction with the pace and conditions of North Macedonia’s EU integration process. The President suggested a re-evaluation of the negotiation framework to ensure a more equitable and effective path toward membership. This critique comes amid ongoing discussions regarding the EU’s enlargement policy and the challenges faced by Western Balkan nations seeking to join the bloc.
