EU countries agreed to open accession negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania after a green light by the EU ambassadors’ meeting on Monday. “This is truly a historic moment,” Czech ambassador Edita Hrda said, whose country heads the EU’s rotating presidency. On Tuesday, EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and Czech PM Petr Fiala will welcome Albanian premier Edi Rama, and North Macedonia’s PM Dimitar Kovačevski in Brussels.
