In response to Venko Filipce’s accusations, VMRO-DPMNE said it was his party that had particised the Agency for National Security and judiciary, during its time in power.
In that regard, it pointed to the dismissed and sentenced former Judge, Nake Georgiev, dismissed and sentenced former Council of Public Prosecutors member, Ixhet Memeti, the term of “head of party commissions”, Viktor Dimovski, as Director of the Agency.
In addition, VMRO-DPMNE’s press-release included a photo of ex-SDSM leader and former PM Zoran Zaev, together with, among others, Judicial Council member Vesna Dameva [a matter over which SDSM had said in 2022 that the photo had been taken at an event where Dameva had been invited as an independent expert].
