The two presidents praised the European Union’s assistance in overcoming the impact of the pandemic, according to Meta’s post on his FB account on Tuesday. Presidents Meta and Pendarovski expressed their willingness to share and coordinate experience in order to overcome the health and socio-economic crisis as soon as possible in the spirit of solidarity and regional cooperation.
