A resolution affirming the support of the United States for the Republic of North Macedonia's accession to the European Union.
This non-binding Senate resolution (SRES 581) affirms U.S. support for North Macedonia's accession to the European Union. It recognizes North Macedonia's democratic progress, NATO membership (joined 2020), and contributions to regional stability, including support for Ukraine. The resolution urges the U.S. government to advocate for opening EU accession negotiations without additional bilateral conditions and encourages North Macedonia to complete required reforms. As a symbolic measure, it does not alter U.S. policy but reinforces diplomatic backing for North Macedonia's EU path.
