On Wednesday, SDSM asked whether Foreign Minister Timco Mucunski’s wife too had been part of North Macedonia’s delegation during the visit to the US. “The Foreign Ministry has never made public the names of those who were part of the delegation. Obviously, the goal of the Washington visit aimed at people having family vacations instead of diplomacy. It’s not strange that the NATO Summit was a diplomatic debacle for the country’s delegation.,” the party said.
In addition, SDSM urged again PM Hristijan Mickoski to show documents to prove that his family privately covered the costs of his son’s travel to the US. In response, VMRO-DPMNE said it was not true at all that Mucunski’s wife had travelled to the US, describing SDSM as “a source of fake news”. The Ministry itself, too, said the Minister hadn’t been accompanied by his wife.
