Former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski congratulated October 23 – the Day of the Macedonian Revolutionary Struggle to the Macedonian citizens.

The day when the first meeting of the founders of MRO (later VMRO) was held in 1893, when they jointly accepted and pledged to fight for the idea that it was necessary to prepare and lead an organized revolutionary struggle for the freedom of Macedonia. Long live Macedonia! With the goals of our generation: European, democratic, free, fair, economically strong, and sovereign Macedonia!, Gruevski said in his note.
