VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski at Friday’s press conference interpreted VMRO-DPMNE’s international secretary Timco Mucunski’s statement on Greek Skai TV, where he said that “Nobody can’t deny what I am, I am Macedonian from Macedonia”.

Mickoski explained that VMRO-DPMNE did not participate in the name change process and that Zaev should be ashamed of what he did. According to him, Mucunski said nothing wrong.

We are Macedonians who speak Macedonian. This is the opposite of what Zaev was saying. I’m Macedonian who speaks Macedonian language and I’m from Macedonia, said Mickoski.
