The current Deputy Minister of Finance and member of the Executive Board of SDSM, Dimitar Kovacevski today officially submitted his candidacy for president of SDSM.

- According to the deadlines, today I submitted my candidacy for president of the party, together with my vision and program - Together, responsibly and dedicatedly. The program is based on three pillars - social democratic vision and values ​​of work, economic growth and raising living standards and a fair chance and a clear system by which the best get the responsibility and chance, said Kovacevski, in front of the SDSM headquarters.

According to Kovacevski, SDSM is going through a challenge, which must change and where every member of the party is important and every member of the party will have a say.

- One of my basic commitments is to restore unity in the party and to restore unity in society so that we can have stronger democratic parties and have a stronger society. The most important thing for us is to restore the belief that we can and must improve our society on our own, while having in mind the clear path of our society in European integration, said Kovacevski.

Regarding the fact that he will have a strong influence from Zoran Zaev, Kovacevski said that he will confirm his work and his integrity through his work and the decisions he will make if he is elected president of SDSM.

Answering a journalist question about the negotiations with Alternative for joining the Government, Kovacevski expressed hope that Alternative will make a positive decision, which ultimately depends on their party bodies, and become part of the government majority, because, as he said, it will provide stable a government that can solve the big problems facing the country, such as the global pandemic, the European energy crisis and the challenges of maintaining the living standards of its citizens.

Following the confirmation of the resignation of Zaev, who was the leader of the party since 2013, last Friday, November 26, the Central Board of SDSM announced the early intra-party elections, which will be held on December 12.
