Skopje, 3 January 2026 (MIA) - We showed it is possible to lead the country in a different way, to make decisions without bowing to anyone, while protecting the Macedonian national interests, says Deputy PM and Transport Minister Aleksandar Nikoloski.

"After decades of being trampled on, we have managed to demonstrated the path of Macedonian national unity, to fight for our interests without making concessions to anyone," Minister Nikoloski told Alfa.

He also refers to the opposition, saying it is "lost".

"The opposition is lost and aggressive. In general, people are agressive when they are weak and have nothing to show for. They yell and jump up to the point when we give them the first argument, and then they stop. It's their problem, they should solve it by themselves," notes Nikoloski.
