Skopje, 26 February 2023 (MIA) - VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski sent Sunday a message of congratulations on Prochka (Forgiveness Day) to all Orthodox believers. 

"Forgiving is a personal feat in which people overcome their weaknesses, and mistakes that we all have. In the deepest essence of all this is striving to be better, more humane, to love our neighbors and to fight for the things we believe in. At the center of that struggle is the future of our families, friends, people, the future of our Macedonia. And that requires will and faith, a clear conscience and a lot of work. And in that context, it has never been difficult for me to ask for forgiveness for things that could have been different and better, from my loved ones, colleagues, from the people in whom I firmly believe," says Mickoski. 

It is kind and right, he adds, to ask for forgiveness from those who matter to us. 

"But that doesn't mean a lack of responsibility for all those who play with the common future of us all and make life more difficult. Only together, standing by each other, with a pure heart and faith in God can we fight for a happier, more stable and prosperous future," Mickoski says in his Forgiveness Day message.
