The US Balkan envoy Matthew Palmer told Macedonian Government officials Nikola Dimitrov and Radmila Sekerinska that the US supports an end to partisan politics and impunity.
Palmer was the US diplomat who was most outspoken in the request to have the major racketeering scandal around Katica Janeva fully investigated and prosecuted. Prosecutors loyal to the Zaev Government have dragged their feet in the investigation and the first high level SDSM party official to be questioned in the scandal, Frosina Remenski, will appear before them tomorrow, a month and a half after the initial arrests.
Dimitrov’s Foreign Ministry issued a press release following the meeting he and Sekerinska had with Palmer in Bled in which it insists that all interlocutors agreed that “crime and its perpetrators will be punished without exception”. Dimitrov was quick to distance himself from the scandal, reminding the public that he never associated with Bojan Jovanovski – Boki 13 – the showman whose arrest started the chain of events leading to the arrest of Special Prosecutor Katica Janeva. Sekerinska, on the other hand, was close both to Boki 13 and to his alleged main victim, businessman Jordan Orce Kamcev.
