"On March 27, 2020, the United States, as the depositary of the treaty, received a document on the accession of the Republic of Northern Macedonia to the North Atlantic Treaty, which made Northern Macedonia the 30th NATO ally," the statement said.
It is also reported that the flag of Northern Macedonia will rise for the first time above NATO headquarters on March 30.
Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that North Macedonia "in the very near future" will become a member of the North Atlantic Alliance.
In December, Washington ratified the protocol on North Macedonia’s accession to NATO.
