The Public Prosecutor’s Office (PPO) informed that they initiated an investigation over the claims by PM Hristijan Mickoski that the previous government allegedly abused intelligence institutions and equipment to follow him while he was the leader of the opposition.
Earlier on Friday, the PPO informed the prime minister that a prosecutor would be investigating his allegations, the release said. Answering a reporter’s question on Friday, Mickoski said files had been created about him at the beginning of 2020, which was an election year, just so he would be trailed.
“Imagine, one of the security agencies — I will not say which one it is for justified reasons — has this information that I had inspired, financed and organised these armed terrorist structures, yet at the same time did not inform the Interior Ministry”, the PM said, adding that intelligence officials refused to disclose the files he spoke about, because in 2020 Nakje Culev from VMRO-DPMNE was Caretaker Interior Minister.
