North Macedonia’s Foreign Minister Timço Mucunski spoke at the Budapest Global Dialogue 2025, organized by Hungary’s Institute for International Relations and the Research Monitoring Foundation.

Mucunski stated: “I emphasized that the Macedonian people have paid the price of patience and compromise. I explained that we drew a clear line not out of stubbornness, but out of self-respect. I called for a future Europe to be built on mutual recognition and trust, not revisionism. During times of global instability, I stressed that Europe needs a more proactive and comprehensive policy. I underlined that integration should be seen not just as a geopolitical option, but as a shared strategic necessity.”
