U.S.-North Macedonia Memorandum of Understanding to Create a Strategic Counter-Disinformation Partnership
Following a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Blinken on May 8, 2023, North Macedonia’s Prime Minister, Dimitar Kovachevski, and U.S. Special Envoy and Coordinator for the Global Engagement Center James P.

The new MOU will enable closer cooperation in the increasingly vital effort to combat misinformation and disinformation, protect democratic processes, and build resilient information ecosystems.
