discussion under Chatham House Rule

Such discussion is to take place under Chatham House Rule, meaning that “participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation events of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.” The objective is to freely and bluntly provide the ambassadors with input on sensitive subjects concerning the legal and economic development of North Macedonia.
