The economic #benefits from the EU accession are most important

Our executive director Blagica Petreski participated in the forum “We are Europe”, organized by the Secretariat for European Affairs.

The economic #benefits from the EU accession process are the most significant

📌 Every government looks at the #shortterm. With the change of government, new policies, but always only until the next elections. The approach will support a long-term goal and #vision

📌 Populism undermines structural #reforms. Accession will ensure consistent implementation of reforms in the three pillars: education, health and social protection and institutions, will strengthen competitiveness and bring a better standard of living

📌 We spend a lot #unproductively. Access to more and more diverse funds on the road to the EU will ensure both a larger budget and more productive spending
