North Macedonia Abstained on Expanded Observer Rights
The May 2024 UN vote records a different position from neighbouring Montenegro.
North Macedonia was among 25 abstentions on May 10, 2024. The measure passed with 143 votes in favour and nine against. It expanded Palestinian participation in the Assembly and asked the Security Council to reconsider full membership.
The same roll call records Montenegro voting in favour. Those votes allow a comparison on the same text and date. An explanation from either delegation would be needed to attribute the difference to a particular reason.
