This is an expected development considering the Commission\u2019s approach over the last decade that we touched upon in last year\u2019s analysis.<\/li>\n<li>The progress assessments are weaker than last year, and instead of \u201csome progress\u201d, the prevalent grade is \u201climited progress\u201d. What ought to concern us in particular are the assessments of the judiciary and the fight against corruption as key areas that the overall course of the negotiations as part of the Fundamentals<br \/>\ncluster depends on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These conclusions are concerning on several points. On one hand, the country has repeatedly underlined its high level of alignment with the EU acquis. This general stagnation in combination with the lack of progress in Chapter 23: Judiciary and Fundamental Rights undermines this argument that is put forward by the supporters of our EU integration. On the other hand, the long-awaited growth plan, announced by the Commission this year, makes reform progress a prerequisite for the availability of EU support, which should make us take the findings of this year\u2019s report especially seriously<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center vc_do_btn\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-3d vc_btn3-block vc_btn3-color-purple\" href=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/analysis-en.pdf\" title=\"\">Download the analysis <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/analysis-en.pdf\" target=\"_self\" class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow_3d  vc_box_border_grey\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1058\" height=\"1497\" src=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/analysis-en-pdf-1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"analysis-en-pdf\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/analysis-en-pdf-1.jpg 212w, https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/analysis-en-pdf-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/analysis-en-pdf-1.jpg 724w, https:\/\/epi.org.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/analysis-en-pdf-1.jpg 1058w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1058px) 100vw, 1058px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brief analysis of the EC North Macedonia 2023 Report The key points of this year\u2019s Enlargement Package are the conditional recommendations for the start of negotiations with Ukraine, Moldova, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the candidate status for Georgia, as well as the growth plan announced by the Commission.
