The leader of VMRO-DPMNE Hristijan Mickoski stated today that the party's consultations on the referendum issue are ongoing and very soon the next session of the Executive Committee will discuss that topic and the public will know their steps for the referendum statement.

- I commented that we have made progress in the attitude of President Pendarovski. I see that he also publicly stands behind the idea of ​​a referendum. He even went a step further and proposed a question text, and roughly we both converge towards such an essence of that question. I expect that, unlike Kovachevski, he will be wiser and come out and call on the citizens and other political parties to support the referendum statement, Mickoski said.

Commenting on Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski's statement that the referendum will be irrelevant because the country has started negotiations for joining the EU, Mickoski said that he is an "illegitimate prime minister" and that how relevant the referendum is will be seen in Tetovo on August 20 when the councilors are voted for. .

- Only an illegitimate prime minister appointed in the manner in which he is appointed can consider the people's voice irrelevant, and how relevant he is will be seen here in Tetovo on August 20, when the councilor list of the SDSM will experience a classic debacle from the citizens of Tetovo. and in the next parliamentary elections, he personally and his policies as an illegitimate prime minister will experience a debacle from the citizens of Macedonia, said Mickoski, who today was in a meeting with the party branch in Tetovo, which started the campaign for the elections.
