The United Nations' failure to proceed over the request for registration of the Macedonia-Kosovo border demarcation agreement does not bring into question its validity, nor can its registration or non-registration by the UN have such an effect, in line with Article 102 of the UN Charter, reads a written statement by Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) spokesman Borce Stamov regarding media reports that UN has not registered the agreement yet.

"This is a bilateral agreement concluded between two entities within the international law, as an expression of their free, legitimate and sovereign will, over an issue of mutual interest. The same refers to all other bilateral agreements that the Republic of Macedonia has concluded with Kosovo following the establishment of diplomatic relations", says Stamov.
