“The European reunification is like an unfinished symphony without us. The European Union is not only a political system but also a political philosophy in which the largest number of Macedonian and Balkan political actors and citizens believe. Integration is a powerful motive and key force for democratic development. The full integration of the Balkans into the EU will put an end to the endless redrawing of borders and balkanization as a phenomenon.”

5. SOUNDBITE (Macedonian) Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, President, North Macedonia:
“Next year, we will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. This year is the last call. The United Nations will either become an engine that moves the world towards a more humane, more just and sustainable order, based on inclusive and accountable governance, or will be reduced to a passive bureaucratized structure completely dependent on the main actors in the geopolitical processes and relations. Only a fundamentally reformed United Nations can bridge the gap between the legal and the just and contribute to a truly transformed world, in which no one is left behind and forgotten.”

Storyline

North Macedonian President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova said, “the European reunification is like an unfinished symphony without us.”

Addressing the General Assembly High-Level Debate in New York today (26 Sep), Siljanovska-Davkova said, “the European Union is not only a political system but also a political philosophy in which the largest number of Macedonian and Balkan political actors and citizens believe. Integration is a powerful motive and key force for democratic development. The full integration of the Balkans into the EU will put an end to the endless redrawing of borders and balkanization as a phenomenon.”

She also said, “next year, we will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. This year is the last call. The United Nations will either become an engine that moves the world towards a more humane, more just and sustainable order, based on inclusive and accountable governance, or will be reduced to a passive bureaucratized structure completely dependent on the main actors in the geopolitical processes and relations. Only a fundamentally reformed United Nations can bridge the gap between the legal and the just and contribute to a truly transformed world, in which no one is left behind and forgotten.”
