In February 2014 the Albanian media wrote about him as a good alternative for Albania's attack, since he is an ethnic Albanian.[2] On 14 May 2014 Besart had received a call up by the Macedonia national football team for the matches against Cameroon and Qatar on 26–30 May 2014. He had accepted the call up and will represent Macedonia at the international level.
He made his debut on 26 May 2014 against Cameroon. He scored his first international "winning" goal in the 92nd minute in their 3-2 win against Luxembourg on 9 October 2014.
