The increased interest of the citizens for accession into the European Union and the knowledge of its basic values set the baseline of the existence of MK – EU Info Centre.

The Info Centre represents an information window through which Macedonia acquires up to date and relevant data for the European Union. By nature, the role of the Info Centre is to contribute towards greater transparency of the process for integrating into the EU and demystification of the process of rapprochement of Macedonia towards the EU. MK – EU Info Centre has the aim to eradicate the euroscepticism which could arise due to insufficient information. The Centre is a corner for all the citizens where they could obtain relevant data and answers to their questions in relation to the process of rapprochement of Macedonia towards the European Union.
