Skopje, 28 March 2024 (MIA) – Caretaker Prime Minister Talat Xhaferi met Thursday with the Public Prosecutor of the Republic of North Macedonia, Ljupcho Kocevski. The meeting took place by a request sent by PM Xhaferi in line with the government’s responsibility to organize fair and democratic elections, the government said in a press release. 

At the meeting, Xhaferi stressed the government’s unwavering commitment to organize elections, which will reflect the real will of the citizens. He said that the government’s activities are taking place according to the legal responsibilities. “Xhaferi personally and the government officials are championing a narrative of positive climate ahead of the elections,” said the press release.
