EU-North Macedonia: SAA Protocol (Croatia accession)

This procedure updates the existing Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Union and North Macedonia. The update is necessary to ensure the legal framework reflects the fact that Croatia has joined the EU, thereby expanding the list of member states party to the agreement.

This primarily affects the diplomatic and trade relations between North Macedonia and the EU. It ensures that the rules governing their partnership are technically accurate and inclusive of all current EU members.
