Contact Skopje: Buy Drones from Turkey

In its call to the government last month, North Macedonia’s VMRO-NP stressed the importance of supplying drones from Turkey:

Since the war between Ukraine and Russia, drones have proven to be a very effective weapon. From the conversation between Erdogan and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, we learn that Albania has bought a powerful Turkish weapon called ‘Bayraktar’. It was announced that Kosovo will also receive the same UAVs. We call on the Government of North Macedonia, especially the Ministry of Defense, to start negotiations with our Turkish friend to purchase a sufficient number of SİHAs.

On the other hand, the Greek media website “Slpress” wrote that the leader of North Macedonia wanted to join the “Turkish war club”.
