The United Kingdom salutes reforms in Macedonia and supports such dynamics in the future, British Minister for Europe David Lidington told Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki on Tuesday.

Interlocutors focused on Macedonia's foreign policy priorities, primarily on the country's EU integration.

FM Poposki voiced expectation from Union member-states to recognize efforts within the High-Level Accession Dialogue.

"UK's continual principled support to EU's enlargement process is of exceptional significance for Macedonia. We believe that such sincere support is also necessary for maintenance of credibility in the process. We expect this support to yield results towards Macedonia's full-fledged EU membership", said FM Poposki after the meeting.

According to him, bilateral relations with the UK are friendly and open.

FM Poposki and Vice Premier for European Affairs Teuta Arifi will take part at the 9th meeting of the Macedonia-EU Stabilization and Association Council later in the day.

In addition, Poposki will meet Cypriot colleague Erato Kozakou-Markoullis, whose country currently holds the EU Presidency.
