Last week, information spread that TV presenter Besmira Ejupi was elected consul in New York, after which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately calmed the situation by emphasizing that Macedonia already had a consul in this city.

Asked about this whole confusing situation, former Foreign Minister Nikola Dimitrov gave a diplomatic answer.

I do not see politics as doing personal favors. It was clear to me and it is clear that the parties in our country are looking for positions. It must be less and less. Until when will parties appoint directors of schools and hospitals? There should be a downward trend in political settings and the person should meet the criteria, he told TV24.
