Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what support his Department provides to Macedonia.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provides political and technical support to all countries in the Western Balkans with the aim of promoting greater stability and security across the region, including by encouraging progress towards EU accession.

In Macedonia, we are our supporting ongoing efforts to resolve the current political crisis, including through political support to talks between the political parties and technical support to governance, rule of law, human rights, freedom of expression and public administration reform.
