PM Mickoski Confirms Mexhiti will Serve as 1st Deputy PM too

According to the gentlemen’s agreement within the ruling coalition, Environment and Physical Planning Minister Izet Mexhiti will serve also as First Deputy PM, PM Hristijan Mickoski confirmed on Wednesday.

“According to the law that is in force, the Government, that is, the PM has deputies. The deal we have within the coalition is for there to be a 1st Deputy PM. Mister Izet Mehiti will hold that position. However, that is not in line with the law. The law says, that is, implies that there are only deputy PMs. The work done so far illegally and unlawfully will not be practice in the work of this government. Nonetheless, yes, the gentlemen’s agreement within our coalition is such,” Mickoski stated.
