Reactions to Language Issue involving Journalist and Minister Janevska

On Tuesday, PM Mickoski was asked about the language issue involving Janevska the previous day, when journalist Nevrij Ademi had asked the Education Minister whether there was an interpreter with her.

He said some people didn’t deserve to be commented on, nonetheless adding that, if someone had decided to “make a clown of themselves, let them”.

Also, the Government criticized the journalist’s tone, rhetoric, and phrasing of the question. As it added, all officials should treat journalists with respect and fairness, but they are expected to demonstrate the same level of professionalism and respect.
