Skopje, 20 September 2023 (MIA) - SDSM urged VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski on Wednesday to answer "about the deals with former party leader and ex-PM Nikola Gruevski".

"Is this a way for Mickoski to cover up the pardoning requests of his fellow party members due to their dissatisfaction from his leadership? There will be no amnesty for Nikola Gruevski and he will be arrested as soon as he lays foot in the country," SDSM said in a press release.

It adds that VMRO-DPMNE's real leader is Gruevski, not Mickoski.

"There is no dilemma that Gruevski is DPMNE's real leader, and this is why Mickoski is nervous. His policy of putting blockades is only a copy of the original and it is quite apparent there are structures within the party who are not satisfied from him," says SDSM.
