In his welcoming address, the Official representative of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation emphasized that "Parliament is a legislative house. MPs work for all Macedonian citizens. That is why it is important that every MP, of course guided by his own political convictions, advocates for the good of everyone. We, as the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, are particularly grateful to discuss all these aspects with the MPs of VMRO-DPMNE, because we believe that even for the quite experienced parliamentarians, this initiative represents an excellent opportunity to advance the work of the MPs and their engagement in the Parliament”.

During her welcome address, Marion Walsmann, a Member of the European Parliament, emphasized that 2024 is the most important election year in our time and the future will be decided this year not only by the elections in the USA and India, but also by the elections in the country and in the European Union. She added that "The success of the European Christian Democratic parties rests on our cooperation and the values we share. With our unity and determination we could achieve a lot. That is why I am firmly convinced that, if we join forces with further cooperation with VMRO-DMPNE, we will be able to move a lot..."
