The nomination of the Government for Teuta Arifi to represent Macedonia in the EU, and Zoran Popov from SDSM in the US, according to VMRO-DPMNE is to satisfy the big coalition appetites.

Teuta Arifi’s portfolio is problematic, especially since after three mayoral terms she left Tetovo with an environmental disaster as baggage and a debt of the municipality of 30 million euros.

Kovacevski and Osmani send Teuta Arifi, the mayor who suffocated the citizens of Tetovo and left them a debt of 30 million euros, to represent Macedonia in the EU in Brussels. Arifi, after causing an environmental catastrophe in Tetovo with urban chaos, thousands of illegal buildings and illegal landfills, will now have to represent the country in the EU. How did Arifi prove to be competent as an ambassador to the EU? Is it because she made criminal contracts in Tetovo or because there were 800 employees with a contract on the list, most of whom were not in the country while receiving their salaries, said VMRO-DPMNE.

For ambassador in Paris, Kovacevski and the government nominate Viktor Dimovski, a prominent SDSM staff, with no contribution to the country.

The government nominates Zoran Popov, the current Secretary of State and chairman of the SDSM’s foreign affairs commission, as ambassador to the United States.

SDSM and DUI use diplomacy as a home to take care of officials from their parties, who have behind them not only the party baggage, but also various criminal and corrupt affairs, without any contribution to society. This is an underestimation for the host countries, where instead of professionals, are sent people who go on a diplomatic mission for the first time or people who have problematic past behind them, said the opposition party.
