Foreign Politicians Comment on 2020 Parliamentary Election in Macedonia

German Minister of Europe Michael Roth congratulated SDSM leader Zoran Zaev on his victory at the 2020 parliamentary election. “Congratulations to North Macedonia, to Zoran Zaev and Nikola Dimitrov. It is good news that the election was conducted without any problems, and now we need to get back to work on your integration in the EU,” Roth wrote on Twitter. Congratulations also came from the group of MEPs “Renewal of Europe”. “In the past few years North Macedonia conducted a series of reforms and made historical decisions, which confirmed its pledges for integration in the EU. We hope that the new government will proceed with the progress towards EU integration,” said MEP Dacian Ciolos. MEP Ilhan Kyuchyuk said that he is waiting for formation of a stable and pro-European majority in Macedonia, even though according to him that process may take a while. Congratulations for the well conducted election process also came from Albanian President Ilir Meta. “Congratulations to North Macedonia on the very god organisation of free and democratic parliamentary election. We also congratulate the Albanian parties for their increased representation in the Parliament of North Macedonia. Let us continue forward together towards a safe and prosperous future,” Meta wrote on Facebook.
