On July 15, 2023, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew met with the Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia, Dimitar Kovacevski, reports fosfanariou.gr website.
During the meeting, they had the opportunity to discuss matters of mutual interest in a cordial atmosphere. The Prime Minister of North Macedonia was in Istanbul for a private visit.
