The Republic of Macedonia on Wednesday signed an accession agreement with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This begins the process of Macedonia joining NATO, which must now be finalized via ratification by current member states.
Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty calls for unanimous approval from member states after the receipt of accession documents. For many years, a dispute between Greece and Macedonia over the name of the former Yugoslav republic made such approval unlikely. In June the two countries signed the Treaty of Prespa, in which Macedonia agreed to change its name to North Macedonia.
