Remarks by Ambassador Milovanovic

Ambassador Milovanovic:…”The ceremony today is clear evidence of the strong support the US Government provides the Government of Macedonia in its efforts to address organized crime and drug trafficking here in Macedonia. It also shows what is possible when ministries in Macedonia work together to address a common need, as the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior have done. In my own Mission, this project is a model example of interagency teamwork, involving active collaboration between the Departments of Justice, Defense, and State, in close cooperation with the U.S. European Command, EUCOM, based in Germany.”…more.
