quota (for goods) or contingent (for people);


Explanation:
It is my guess that the context here is goods, so it should go like this: "Macedonia will not eliminate/abolish its quota"; However, if the context is people it should read something like "Macedonia will not withdraw its contingent".

"kontingent" could also be translated as "consignment" when the context is shipment of goods, but it doesn't seem to me that the case here is such.
