Answering a journalist’s question, PM Hristijan Mickoski confirmed on Tuesday that a working group of experts was already working on drawing up a new law on equitable representation, adding that Public Administration Minister Goran Mincev was not part of it.
“I don’t comment on stands of individuals coming from our coalition partners. Yes, there’s a working group in which there are experts working on preparing a law that will be made available for public insight. We will listen to what the public and, after that, the Venice Commission have to say before it enters procedure in Parliament,” he stressed.
Regarding the issue of salaries of officials, Mickoski said they would definitely not increase in 2025.
“Probably, that will be done by correcting coefficients,” the PM underlined.
On the other hand, SDSM said Mickoski should deliver on his promise to reduce salaries of officials, made during an interview with Sitel on 17 August 2023, when he said he would do so if he became the PM.
