The Ambassador, based out of Skopje, works with the rest of the embassy - 70 other Americans and 240 locals - to advance bilateral relations.[1]
The United States established a liaison office in what was then the Republic of Macedonia in Skopje on 3 December 1993 with Victor D. Comras appointed soon after as Charge and US chief of Mission with the equivalent rank of Ambassador. The U.S. formally recognized Macedonia as an independent state on 9 February 1994.[2]
