SDSM Urges Resignation by Toskovski, VMRO-DPMNE Responds

According to SDSM, the Kocani fire has “exposed” not only institutional oversights, but the collapse of the safety system.

“Something is wrong with safety in the country, but there is silence about that. There has to be accountability according to the laws, but also moral responsibility”, the party noted.

SDSM believes that Pance Toskovski should resign as Interior Minister due to the Kocani fire and the “series” of safety incidents, including murders, other shooting incidents, and traffic accidents in which people were run over.

In response, however, VMRO-DPMNE again said SDSM was exploiting the Kocani tragedy to score political points, adding that SDSM had no credibility to talk about safety considering what had gone on during the term of Oliver Spasovski as Interior Minister.
