The Ministry of Finance of North Macedonia published an update on the country’s participation in the 71st MONEYVAL plenary session in Strasbourg, where State Secretary Andriana Matlioska said North Macedonia remains committed to strengthening its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework in line with international standards and Financial Action Task Force recommendations. The release does not announce a new domestic measure, but presents the delegation’s attendance as part of ongoing work to improve the institutional and regulatory system and contribute to exchanges on AML and terrorist financing controls. The plenary session, organised by the Council of Europe from 26 to 29 May, is covering international AML and counter-terrorist financing standards, along with member state evaluation and monitoring work. Agenda items include sixth-round mutual evaluation reports for Armenia and Slovenia, progress and monitoring reports for Romania and Bulgaria, and compliance procedures for Georgia and Poland. North Macedonia’s delegation included representatives from the Ministry of Finance, the Financial Intelligence Directorate and the Financial Police Administration.
