VMRO-DPMNE’s Vice President Aleksandar Nikoloski, who is attending the European People’s Party conference in Brussels, met with Marco Zanni, a member of the European Parliament from Matteo Salvini’s Lega party in Italy.

We talked about establishing cooperation between VMRO-DPMNE and Lega as political parties, as well as closer cooperation between Macedonia and Italy. At the meeting, I briefed him on the current developments in Macedonia, the setback of the economy, corruption, the state of the rule of law, and the challenges Macedonia is facing. We talked about Macedonia’s strategic priority for EU integration. We also talked about the necessity of holding early elections both in Italy and in Macedonia where the citizens will give their opinion on where the politics should be headed and who should lead them, Nikoloski informed.
