During his Happy TV interview in Belgrade, VMRO-DPMNE President Hristijan Mickoski conceded defeat in the attempt to bring down the Zaev Government last week.

It happens to the best of us. Unfortunately we failed even though we had 61 votes. One of those who signed the motion later changed his mind. We tried to unite, despite our differences, with the goal of removing this criminal Government from Macedonia. The Government was soundly defeated in the local elections, Mickoski said.
