Macedonia also has made important strides toward Euro-Atlantic integration. Macedonia is an active participant in [[NATO]]'s Partnership for Peace and Membership Action Plan, the OSCE, and [[United Nations]], and was accepted as a member of the [[World Trade Organization]] (WTO) in October 2002. In May 2003, Macedonia, Albania, Croatia, and the U.S. created the [[Adriatic Charter]], modeled on the [[Baltic Charter]], as a mechanism for promoting regional cooperation to advance each country's NATO candidacy. Since then, the Adriatic Charter countries have cooperated closely in regional military exercises, and have deployed a joint medical team to support international coalition operations in [[Afghanistan]]. In 1999, the [[EU]] agreed to pursue a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with Macedonia; negotiations with Macedonia were launched April 5, 2000. The SAA was signed April 2001 and came into force in April 2004. Its trade and trade-related provisions have been in force since June 2001. For Macedonia to successfully integrate within the global arena, continued efforts to strengthen its multi-ethnic civil society institutions, to develop measures to promote economic growth and investment, and to foster strong indigenous non-governmental organizations are necessary. On November 9, 2005 the European Commission recommended EU candidate status for the country. It recommended beginning formal accession negotiations after Macedonia had made further progress on a number of reform fronts, including combating corruption; enacting judicial, administrative, and economic reforms; and conducting free and fair parliamentary elections, in accordance with European standards, in 2006. In December 2005, the European Council granted candidate country status to Macedonia, taking into account the "substantial progress made in completing the legislative framework related to the Ohrid Framework Agreement, as well as its track record in implementing the Stabilization and Association Agreement (including its trade-related provisions) since 2001." The Council also noted the need to consider further steps toward membership in light of the debate on the enlargement strategy, and the need for Macedonia to continue strong progress toward meeting the Copenhagen political criteria, as well as Stabilization and Association Agreement requirements.

In April 2013 the [[Foundation for Open Society]] Macedonia (FOSM) was awarded 18 [[USAID]] grants by the [[US State Dept]].;<ref>http://soros.org.mk/en/Home/NewsAndActivity?newsID=660&catID=7&pageIndex=1&month=10&year=0&additionalID=73</ref> FOSM is a Soros-run foundation.

{{quotebox|"...[[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] has operated continuously through USAID, the [[US government]] agency that works to "promote [[American]] interests" and whose goal is "to support US [[foreign policy]] [...] expand stable free societies, create markets and business partners for the United States".
For about 20 years the USAID action was altogether balanced, ruled by a sense of realism and limited to create spheres of influence in the country in line with the legitimate demands of geopolitical America. '''But after Obama entered the White House, things have changed.'''<br>
'''SOROS COMING!'''
On February 27, 2012, the Open Society of [[George Soros]] has entered into an agreement with the Government of the United States, more than 2.5 million dollars to make in Macedonia the Civil Society Project, the democratization floor of the small Balkan nation through a series of Macedonian [[NGO]]s and associations. In 2014, the agreement was expanded to four other civil organizations (all related to the Open Society or funded by it), for a total investment of '''5 million dollars from USAID and $500,000 in the same Soros Foundation.'''
The data, figures, associations, and activities, are published in [https://stopsoros.mk/detailed-overview-usaid-support-george-soros-led-groups-macedonia/ a very precise report drawn up by a group of Macedonian journalists gathered under the name "STOP SOROS"] report denouncing the [[collusion]] between the US government and the financier and shows the complexity of the connections and of the plots.
The report explains how the '''organizations that have received millions of dollars from the US government, through the Open Society, are all emanations of the Macedonian [[left-wing]] party SDSM''' (Social Democratic Union of Macedonia) derivation of the old [[Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] [[Communist Party]] era; and it is no accident that from 2015 to 2016 '''these organizations coordinated by the SDSM, were the protagonists of the protests and [[riot]]s of the "colored revolution"''' that shook Macedonia leading to the resignation of the [[Conservative]] government in office and to early elections; clashes led by leaders like [[LGBT]] activist Pavle Bogoevski and even today the parliamentary left, in the photo portrait with a t-shirt ironic that says, 'Soros-army'.
Now Macedonia is crossed by a serious political crisis without a government majority with ethnic tensions that begin to burst with the [[Albania]]n minority. In short, a perfect creative chaos similar to many other artificially created by Geroge Soros in [[Eastern Europe]].
'''In Macedonia, the scheme is very similar to the scheme in [[Ukraine]]''' (where among other things we remember, the role of Soros is well documented)
Even the characters are the same as [[Victoria Nuland]], responsible for the Eurasian policies of [[Obama]], who during the [[Color Revolution]] she traveled to Macedonia "to meet civil activists and encourage them to continue their work" exactly what she did during [[Maidan]].
(For those who wish to learn who is Victoria Nuland, and what role she played in the outbreak of the [[Ukrainian crisis]], we refer to this video editorial two years ago, made for ''Il Giornale'')<br>
'''STOP SOROS'''
In a long and complex analysis of ''The [[American Spectator]]':, Victor Gaetan, explained how the attempts at destabilization of Macedonia by Soros has commenced, even in 1995, but are made only when '''the arrival of Obama to the White House given away for free (and American money) to infiltration strategy of the Open Society.'''
Cvetin Chilimanov, journalist MIA (Macedonian Information Agency) and Vice President of STOP SOROS, explained how the goal of the USA/Soros is not to help the Macedonian nation but to seize power in the political forces of the left [[radical]]s.
And it is evident also in Macedonia (as in the rest of [[Europe]]) '''[[the left]] is perfectly functional [[globalist]] ideology that Soros wants to impose in [[the West]]: migration, dissolution of [[nation state]]s, disarticulation of the fabric of traditional values of the Royal Society (and not ideological).''' On the other hand, Macedonia remains a culturally and socially conservative country, whose population is strongly linked to the values of [[Orthodox Christianity]], with public opinion in a clear majority opposed to issues such as [[abortion]] and [[gay marriage]] (among the most expensive issues George Soros).<br>
'''SOMETHING IS CHANGING (?)'''
Financing Operations Use/Soros to the Macedonian NGOs have continued even in recent times, and many are still active.
Not only that, but according to Gaetan additional funding of $9.5 million was awarded a year ago [2016] at the Open Society and entrusted to Macedonian organizations, if it were not blocked by the new Secretary of State [[Tillerson]], appointed by Trump.
'''But this is a sign that maybe something is changing.''' Strengthened by Trump victory, thousands of Macedonians took to the streets to ask the new US administration the end of the financial support of the Open Society and the American ambassador's removal as the very executor of the Soros project..."}}
