Part of situation: North Macedonia European integration and reform (2 clusters)

Macedonia to receive 140 million euros for reform projects

Macedonia euro-integration Slavkov 3 EU reform funding SEPA system roaming-free zone

Macedonia is set to receive 140 million euros for continued reform activities following the successful implementation of various reform projects. This funding is part of the broader Growth Plan aimed at supporting the country's euro-integration process.

Diplomats from the Slavkov 3 group—comprising Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia—are actively supporting Macedonia's integration into the European Union. They are implementing tangible projects on the ground, including the construction and renovation of pedestrian paths and mountain lodges in regions such as Vodno, Titov Vrv, Shar Planina, and Pelister. Macedonia is noted as the second non-EU country where this specific group is executing concrete projects, particularly in sustainable and Alpine tourism.

Additional European integration benefits include the use of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) system to lower transaction costs. Furthermore, Macedonia is expected to enter a roaming-free zone with the EU within the next one to two years.
