Violence takes many forms, including femicide, online harassment and abuse, domestic violence and conflict-related sexual violence. Women and girls are affected worldwide – including in the Netherlands. 1/2

Peace and stability in the Western Balkans equals a safer and more resilient Europe. That is why the Netherlands will continue its support for effective arms control via @UNDP and @UNODC's Western Balkans Multi-Partner Trust Fund. A concrete example of arms control in action.

📍 Last week we welcomed our colleagues from the region to Belgrade. Together, we took part in the Belgrade Security Conference and spent a few exciting days exchanging thoughts and ideas. Always a pleasure to connect in person and build stronger regional ties!

#didyouknow that Havep is one of the biggest 🇳🇱 investments in 🇲🇰? Their workwear not only keeps you safe but is also produced with respect for nature and society! And the leftovers? They are turned into special orange bags! #nlinmk #weshinetogether https://t.co/N2ABNMADUL

As we celebrate entrepreneurship, we also recognise the transformative journey of women’s empowerment and the importance of economic independence. To all🇳🇱 companies active in 🇲🇰 and beyond, thank you for bringing innovation, skills, and partnership to our economies!

This special day honours the courage and creativity of Dutch entrepreneurs, and we were proud to mark it together with women-owned and managed businesses, both local and Dutch.

Thank you everyone who joined us today to celebrate the Day of the Entrepreneur (#dagvandeondernemer ) together with the Association of Women Businesses.

Happy jubilee, we hope you will continue to grow and provide home to many more stories and generations to come! #domnasiteprikazni #NLinMK #weshinetogether

On this occasion we opened a Dutch literary corner with books in Dutch and Macedonian language which will now be available to all library members also thanks to the generous donations of members of the 🇳🇱 community in 🇲🇰!

Because libraries are homes not only of books,but also of human essence. They are so much more than monuments–they are living foundations of human civilization, records of our existence in this world’ said Ambassador Canel @ the 80th jubilee of the City Library Brakja Miladinovci

‘As a diplomat, the places I call home change frequently and for me home is more a feeling than an actual place. The scent of a library is such a feeling for many of us here I believe, a shelter where the hectic world we live in slows down and allows us to find ourselves again.

Big thanks to our great partner Macedonian Centre for Photography for making this possible, and to all the local partners across the region: Belgrade Photo Month 🇷🇸, The VII Foundation 🇧🇦, Association of Journalists of Kosovo🇽🇰, Blerta Kambo/Imagine 🇦🇱, and PhotoCG 🇲🇪 (5/5).

🇲🇰Congratulations to Arbnora Memeti, Ivo Velchevski, Kaja Tasevska and Filip Lafazanovska for being North Macedonia’s representatives in this exhibition and especially to Ana Gjorgjievska, 🇲🇰 winner, who will join the World Press Photo Winners’ Week 2026 in Amsterdam! 💫 (4/5)

Under the mentorship of award-winning photographer Ilvy Njiokiktjien, they explored how their generation sees and questions Europe today — resulting in honest, powerful, and authentic visual stories. (3/5)

As Ambassador Canel said in her opening words, this regional project helped us to understand how young people across the Western Balkans see, question, and connect with the idea of Europe today. Not through the given narratives, but through their own eyes and stories. (2/5)

✨Thank you all for joining us at the opening of the photo exhibitio “Are We There Yet: What Are the Road Signs to the EU?” last night at Mala Stanica in Skopje! ✨ (1/5)

Effective and humane management of migration requires adequate allocation of human and financial resources by the WB6 as well as cooperation with countries along the transit routes. #nlinmk #bordermanagement #migration

Although the migration flow on the Balkan route is significantly reduced, it was less than 10 years ago when close to 1 million migrants transited through this center. Migration management remains one of the main priorities for the Netherlands.
