Opposition leader Hristijan Mickoski called out Zoran Zaev to a televised debate, after two TV channels offered to hold one.

I happily accepted both offers, and I’m not going to hide from the public. It is up to Zoran Zaev to face the truth and the facts. He needs to respond why he built a political career on the lies he told about the Monster killings. Why is he teaming up with criminals. He needs to answer for the Louis Vuitton bags in our judiciary, the staged trials and verdicts, for his refusal to allow a closer look into his family wealth, Mickoski said.

The offers came from the Alfa and Kanal 5 TV stations. Macedonia is officially in a pre-election phase after the Parliament dissolved yesterday.
