Senior EU official Erhard Busek hopes that Brussels will approve visa liberalization with Macedonia in the next six months. “I hope that you will achieve visa liberalization during the Czech EU presidency, by June. That’s very important, as is the implementation of IPA funds. If Macedonia continues to work well, it will be able to take those vital steps,” said Busek after talks with Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski in Skopje, local media report.
