Politicians Send Congratulatory Messages on Occasion of Orthodox Christmas

Politicians have extended congratulatory messages on the occasion of Orthodox Christmas. PM Dimitar Kovacevski, who attended on Saturday the observance at Saint Clement of Ohrid Church in Skopje, said that just like the holiday united everyone in the family home, it should unite people in all other spheres of life. In his message, he also underlined the importance of good thoughts and good deeds. VMRO-DPMNE President Hristijan Mickoski’s message is that the “difficult reality” can be overcome only if there is joint action. “These are days when we should unite regardless of our political differences. These are days when we should send a message of togetherness. We need that. We’re a small people, a small country. Only through unity and respect for each other will we reach the goal,” Mickoski noted. Congratulatory messages were sent also by others, including President Stevo Pendarovski, Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi, Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski, Deputy PM for European Affairs Bojan Maricic, 1^st Deputy PM Artan Grubi,
