Former Chief of the General Staff of the ARM General Metodija Velickovski has been dismissed from his post just two weeks after he signed a letter to President Pendrovski against the French proposal, Express reported. Only 13 days later on 19.07.2022, Pendarovski, who is the supreme commander of the army, dismisses General Velickovski, who is 56 years old, by decree and sends him into retirement. Sources in Pendarovski’s office claim that it is not about revanchism because General Velickovski would certainly have been replaced, but they do not give an answer as to why Velickovski could not be allowed to continue his post so that the public does not think that the President is carrying out revanchism against those who are against the French proposal.
