University professor and businessman Kocho Angjushev, in an interview for the latest issue of the weekly Фокус, claims that he was under pressure and that he received threats in the period when the bankruptcy procedure of "FENI" was being conducted, ie today's "Euronickel Industry", when he was Deputy Prime Minister for Economy.

- There was a lot of pressure, but we showed integrity not to succumb to pressure. Sometimes it is hard to hear insults and untruths, but you have to endure. I just did not want to talk about all the obscene offers, and pressures came even to my children. They threatened the safety of children studying abroad. It was bad, it made me uneasy, but a man with integrity has to endure everything - says Angjushev.

According to him, the bankruptcy of the factory from Kavadarci is a success story.

- We as a government were concerned and we saw that process to be legal and we asked investors who will appear in that court procedure to settle the claims of 72 million euros, of which 42 million euros were debts to Macedonian banks. I do not know if we are aware, if the banks lost that money, what would it be, that money is the money of the citizens. The situation was almost panicky, although we did not want to spread that panic - points out Angjushev.

Responding to allegations that the bankruptcy took place illegally, which were addressed to other interested companies, as well as the non-governmental organization "Transparency International" by Slagjana Taseva, Angjushev says:

"Mrs. Slagjana Taseva received a lawsuit for all those defamations she uttered and lost the lawsuit in court. I did not sue her because as Deputy Prime Minister I had to be wider and understanding of all the allegations, but the company sued and won that lawsuit. I can not claim, but here I am asking Ms. Taseva, are the motives lucrative? "There were a lot of interested parties who wanted to take the company for 27 million euros, for 40 million euros."
