Tetovo municipal authorities sent a message to its employees tpdau urging them to vote, with an appeal clearly meant to favor the ruling SDSM – DUI coalition candidate Stevo Pendarovski.

Dear colleagues, today is a holiday. We appeal to you to use your right to vote and come out in large numbers in support for the European future, the message read.

While both candidates, Pendarovski and Gordana Siljanovska – Davkova, support Macedonia’s membership to the European Union, Pendarovski used it much more extensively and lays claim to being called the pro-European candidate. Tetovo town hall is led by the DUI party which endorsed Pendarovski and the phrasing of the message is clearly meant to call on the employees to vote for the ruling majority candidate.
