On 25 October 2023, SSEES welcomed North Macedonia's Minister of Culture, Bisera Kostadinovska-Stojchevska.

Kostadinovska-Stojchevska met with the Prof Richard Mole, Director of SSEES, expressing her satisfaction with the relations between the Republic of North Macedonia and the United Kingdom which have continued development in the field of the culture. She presented publications by Macedonian authors to Prof Mole, which will be housed in the SSEES Library. In addition to print and electronic books, SSEES Library has an extensive collection of films and documentaries. In this regard, talks also tackled the possibility of some of the Macedonian films to be part of the collections of the SSEES Library.

Kostadinovska-Stojchevska also met with Dr Ana Ilievska Završnik, who has been teaching Macedonian language evening classes at UCL SSEES since 2019, who noted that the number of groups interested in attending Macedonian language courses has increased since this year.

The Ministry of Culture and the Embassy of North Macedonia in London will continue to support the SSEES Library by donating Macedonian books, allowing for students to enrich their knowledge of the country, culture and traditions.
