Nikola Poposki (born 24 October 1977 in Skopje) is the incumbent Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia. Prior to his current role, in 2010–2011 he served as the country's ambassador to the European Union.[1][2]
Education
Nikola Poposki received a BA in Economics from Skopje University and from Nice University in 2002 and a Master in Languages and International Trade in the EU from Skopje University and Rennes University in 2004.[3] He later received a master's degree from the College of Europe.[4][5][6][7]
Foreign Policy
Speaking to the Israel Council on Foreign Relations in March 2016, Poposki addressed, in his capacity as Foreign Minister, the recent critiques of the international press with regards to his country's handling of the migrant crisis. He stated: "We’re willing to give them humane treatment and safe transit, but no way will we take the burden for problems that the EU is not ready to resolve," referring to the directives demanded of European countries onto Macedonia even though the latter has been refused so far membership to either the European Community or to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.[8]
