VMRO-DPMNE Continues Criticism of Pendarovski and SDSM, Latter Reacts

VMRO-DPMNE has continued its criticism of ex-President Stevo Pendarovski’s comments during the 8 March interview with Sitel. On Monday, it said he and SDSM were bringing down national positions and couldn’t come to terms with the fact that the new cabinet was building strong relations with the US.

On the other hand, SDSM said Pendarovski was а former President and entitled to say whatever he wanted. Also, it stated that the government should employ a policy that would be positioned between US and EU interests.

In the interview, Pendarovski had criticised the government for, in his view, deciding to follow the strategic partner’s policies. In that regard, he pointed out that it was amateurish to stand on the side of America in its disagreements with the EU.
