Murtezani in Warsaw: North Macedonia faces hybrid threats

The Minister of European Affairs, Orhan Murtezani, today participated in the informal meeting of the General Affairs Council (GAC) of the European Union, which is being held in Warsaw, within the framework of the Polish Presidency.

Representatives of member states, candidate countries and potential candidates for membership in the Union discussed the current hybrid threats faced by both EU member states and aspiring ones.

Minister Murtezani delivered his speech in the context of the discussion, emphasizing that North Macedonia is directly facing hybrid threats, especially after full harmonization with the EU's common foreign and security policy.

He stressed that disinformation, cyberattacks and efforts to destabilize democracy are part of a broader strategy to undermine European values ​​and trust in the enlargement process.

In this context, he stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation with the EU in the field of cybersecurity, information exchange and the integration of candidate countries into European security mechanisms.
