Macedonia expects Albania to help the country secure a NATO membership invitation, Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov told his visiting Albanian counterpart Ilir Meta on Monday.

With regards to the two countries' aspirations to join the European Union (EU), Ivanov told Albania's president that Macedonia's experience would be at the disposal of Albania to boost its EU integration efforts.
