PM Mickoski Voices Satisfaction with US Visit

On Friday, during a visit to Petrovec, PM Hristijan Mickoski said he was exceptionally satisfied with his visit to the US, describing it as very useful.

As he explained, in addition to the meetings about which there was public information, there were also ones with people that would in the period ahead assume high-ranking roles in US President Donald Trump’s “perimeter”.

“Everyone who fights for and achieves attention from the optics of the Trump administration will enter that optics. We want to achieve that, which is why we were there. We went there to present who we were and what we were. There isn’t a second chance to make a first impression”, the PM stressed.

Once again, he refuted the accusations from the opposition, which had described the visit as a “cheap PR farce”.

“That’s the policy chosen by the opposition. I was first labelled ‘the isolated Micko[ski]’. I was then referred to as a servant of one or another person. The things I have heard over the past years from the same people and same structure. What matters is that the visit was paid only in the interest of citizens. All types of Information about hotels I stayed at would be made up”, Mickoski noted.

As he pointed out, he stayed at a 3-plus-star hotel, whereas the opposition was showing photos actually of a hotel where Rumble’s Founder, Chris Pavlovski, had organised a meeting for “digitalisation of Macedonia”.
