Skopje, 5 May 2025 (MIA) - Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski has confirmed that he would meet with Health Minister Arben Taravari at 5 pm on Monday, saying the Government is stable "with or without Taravari".

"I would like to hear his views on the latest developments. As I see it, he has two options. The first is the one offered by this Government, one of change, and the second is the one that destroyed the country and its institutions for two decades. There is no third option, I can't see it," PM Mickoski told reporters.

On his personal relationship with Taravari, the PM said they have been communicating for a long time and has a positive opinion of him as a person, while adding, "I have never begged anyone in my life and I don't intend to".

"In politics, you either have honor or you don't, there are no fluid options in between. You either keep your word or you don't. So, behind-the-scene games are easy to identify and they usually backfire for those playing them," said Mickoski.
