Zelensky spoke about this after a meeting with the prime ministers of the three countries.
The prime ministers of Albania and Montenegro arrived in Kyiv on a visit, and the head of the government of North Macedonia took part in the meeting virtually, because he could not arrive due to an overlay with the schedule.
I am grateful to Mr. Rami, I am grateful to Mr. Abazovich, Mr. Kovachevsky for adopting today, following our talks, a joint statement of support for granting Ukraine candidate status for membership in the European Union. "Our states must become full members of the European Union, and we agree that our states are not competitors on this European path, but only complement and enhance each other's capabilities," Zelensky said.
