SKOPJE, Macedonia – The Director of the MARRI Regional Centre, Dr. Trpe Stojanovski, held a briefing for members of Macedonian diplomatic core in the Government building on 25 October 2007.
The priorities from the MARRI Strategy and Programme of Action in the field of migration, with an overview of MARRI Regional Centre’s present and future activities were presented. More specifically, three proposed project proposals from the MARRI initiative (i.e. interactive migration map, readmission agreements in the region and assessment of identity documents in MARRI Member States) were presented at the mentioned meeting.
The meeting underlined the contribution of MARRI to the promotion of regional cooperation, as MARRI was established according to the basic guidelines of the regional ownership concept among Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. This regional cooperation in the area of migration reflects the extent to which the region is prepared for integration into EU structures.
