CORE SUBJECT

Appointment of the new government in North Macedonia

The Parliament of North Macedonia has begun discussions on the appointment of the new government led by Hristijan Mickoski.

The government will have 24 members - 15 ministers from the VMRO DPMNE coalition, which won the elections on May 8, six from the Albanian coalition "We Can", and two from the "I Know" movement.

The government is elected by a simple majority vote, and the election must be completed by midnight on Sunday.

"The mandate holder for forming the new government, Hristijan Mickoski, says that citizens expect quick results, especially in the economy, and that his expectations are that the people in the new government will put great energy into achieving ambitious goals. Mickoski announces an uncompromising fight against crime and corruption and says he will not tolerate abuses by elected officials. The main focus of the new government will be the youth due to, as the mandate holder states, their exodus from the country, but also pensioners and farmers," reports Maja Blaževska-Evrosimoska.

Mickoski and his party have not stopped using the old constitutional name Macedonia, which has already provoked a reaction from Greece. However, he announced that he will still use the new state name during the oath.
