Germany insisted on the constitutional inclusion of Bulgarians for North Macedonia's path to the EU, after Skopje failed to meet expectations for constitutional changes

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte appointed Radmila Sekerinska as his deputy; she was previously Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration and Minister of Defence during North Macedonia's accession to NATO in 2020

A mobile application was launched that will host the country's digital identity wallet, allowing citizens to store an electronic version of their identity cards and driving licences

An interactive workshop on the protection of critical infrastructure and targets from terrorist attacks was organised by the OSCE Transnational Threats Department and the OSCE Mission in Skopje and brought together government officials and experts

Discussions about potential constitutional changes are ongoing; former foreign minister Bujar Osmani has stated the need for a vote on the issue, warning that a lack of action could lead to a renewed focus on issues of 'identity, language and history'
