"Because of Macedonia's strategic commitment to NATO and EU membership and its commitment to actively contribute to international missions, the need for a training centre meeting the standards intended for our armed forces and the armed forces of NATO members became evident," Konjanovski said on February 4th, describing the project as a "priority".
"Zbog strateške posvećenosti Makedonije članstvu u NATO-u i EU i njene rešenosti da aktivno doprinosi međunarodnim misijama, potreba za centrom za obuku koji ispunjava standarde namenjene našim oružanim snagama i oružanim snagama zemalja članica NATO-a postaje očigledna", izjavio je Konjanovski 4. februara opisujući projekat kao "prioritet".
