North Macedonia held the first intergovernmental conference with the EU, which officially started the negotiations for membership in the Union.

After the first intergovernmental conference, the European Commission immediately started the screening process, which contains 35 chapters.

Telegraph Macedonia will inform you about the content of each chapter that North Macedonia must go through.

Chapter Two: Free Movement for Workers


This chapter clarifies labor rights for all able-bodied people to work in the various member states.

Workers must be treated the same in all European Union countries, as if they were citizens of the country where they work.

Workers in other EU member states are equal before EU labor laws, before taxes and before general working conditions.

Health and pension insurance are valued the same in all EU countries, without exception.

Otherwise, in addition to the EU chapters, North Macedonia has also signed a protocol with Bulgaria, which also contains some recommendations and obligations, which must be fulfilled by both countries, in order to avoid obstacles in North Macedonia's membership in BE./Telegraph/
