According to the 2025 EU Perception Survey, 69% of citizens in North Macedonia support EU membership.

Omissions

• The MEP referred to the survey as the '2025 EU Perception Survey'. Its official name is 'Special Eurobarometer and Perception Surveys 2025', published by the European Commission's DG for Enlargement (DG ENEST) on 2 September 2025. This is a minor attribution imprecision and does not affect the factual accuracy.
• The survey uses the phrasing 'support for EU accession' rather than 'support for EU membership', though these terms are functionally equivalent in this context.
