NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, today in Skopje reiterated that our country, by joining the Alliance, must increase the defense budget and reach two percent of GDP.

We want to congratulate North Macedonia on the increase that has already taken place and the announcement of a new increase. It offers security and NATO is the most successful Alliance in history. We protect all allies from any threat. This is good for all of us, based on the principle all for one and one for everyone, said Stoltenberg.
