Why North Macedonia ignores Kosovo-Albania-Croatia military alliance?

Democratic Union for Integration (the largest ethnic Albanian political party in North Macedonia) commenting on the agreement for military cooperation between Kosovo, Albania and Croatia.

DUI is asking why North Macedonia has not become part of the military cooperation agreement between Kosovo, Albania and Croatia, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

They say that the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense are getting closer to Belgrade, while adding that the ministers of the current government are seen at events at the Russian-Chinese embassies.

"Why did North Macedonia remain outside the military cooperation with NATO allies? Albania, Kosovo and Croatia signed a memorandum for military and industrial cooperation, with positive effects on their economies as well. Meanwhile, North Macedonia remained outside this important regional initiative. Were we forgotten? Were we excluded? Or did this government refuse to be part of the process? ....Instead of deepening the alliance with NATO and Western partners, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense are getting closer to Belgrade and its allies. While the governments of the region are clearly moving towards Euro-Atlantic values, some ministers of this government are regular guests at receptions of Russian-Chinese embassies, while others participate in state ceremonies that are openly against NATO, the alliance of which we are full members. Why is VALEN silent?", say the DUI.
