ZNAM Believes Coat of Arms shouldn’t Change

Maksim Dimitrievski, leader of the third ruling coalition partner, ZNAM, doesn’t believe there’s a need to change the coat of arms because in its current form reflects “the Macedonian history and reality”.

As he pointed out on Monday, though every proposal is worthy of consideration, his party hasn’t so far been consulted for an opinion on the topic raised by VMRO-DPMNEN and VLEN.

On the other hand, VMRO-DPMNE’s stand is that the country has history that can be reflected in a coat of arms without Soviet symbolism.
